In partnership with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and ASTHO, the Power of Partnerships: Health Equity, Minority Health, and Women’s Health Capacity Building Assistance in-person meeting will take place Monday, April 24 – Tuesday, April 25 at CDC Headquarters, Tom Harkin Global Communications Center. This will be a working meeting to co-create a health equity network that meets the needs of practitioners from women’s health, minority health, and health equity and coalesces around a common mission to stand ready to address future emergency and non-emergency events by developing stronger partnerships and collective effort to advance equity and resiliency. The meeting is hybrid and will co-locate with several other events. Your Partnership invitation includes the opportunity to participate in exclusive ASTHO events with the National Association of State Offices of Minority Health (NASOMH) and Diverse Executives Leading in Public Health (DELPH)
In addition, ASTHO extends a special invitation to you to extend your stay in Atlanta, GA to attend the 2023 Health Equity Summit entitled A Movement for Justice, a national convening of state and island area health officials, federal and local partners, and stakeholders committed to advancing health and racial equity. This event is designed for public health professionals, health equity leaders, and their community partners. Attendees will have conversations that inspire action to confront health inequities’ root causes and move towards justice.
Objectives:
- Mobilize the public health workforce and stakeholders to prioritize implementing evidence-based practices and policies directed toward advancing the health and well-being of people who have experienced historical discrimination and oppression.
- Recommend equity practices that are sustainable within our public health system by working alongside community members to envision a nation that supports optimal health for all.
- Prioritize collaboration and information sharing among state and federal health officials, partners, and stakeholders across states and jurisdictions to advance equity.
