Description:
Health equity is an area of major focus for NACDD Members, staff, consultants, and leadership. To address the disparities in the burden of disease and the health outcomes that often exist in racial/ethnic minorities and people with low socioeconomic status, The National Association of Chronic Disease Directors established the Health Equity Council, (HEC) in 2005. The Council connects program staff and those interested in health equity, for knowledge sharing, brainstorming, problem solving, technical assistance, and best practice dissemination.  It identifies issues that make it difficult to close the gaps in health status and works toward solutions by partnering with State Health Department, National Organizations, and Federal Agencies to serve as a collective voice in the field of equity, diversity, and inclusion.

This month's General Member Webinar will feature the Health Equity Council and highlight its recent work and accomplishments. During this webinar, you will receive an overview of current Council projects and learn of future training and technical assistance opportunities.  Please mark your calendars and join us for the discussion.

Join us for this exciting webinar on August 24, 2017 from 3:00-4:00 PM EST.
