2023 Health Equity Outlook Report

Health equity is an aspirational goal whereby all people experience similar health outcomes regardless of race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, education, neighborhood, or other potentially disadvantaging social and structural determinants of health. Progress is challenged by systemic drivers that are rooted in a history of overt and covert bias in US society, and by extension, in US medicine.

The inaugural 2023 Health Equity Outlook Report provides insights into how organizations are addressing the challenge of overcoming health disparities and driving toward health equity goals. It sheds light on current health equity objectives, priorities, barriers, and where leaders see the field moving from here.
