Partnership Highlight
Washington's Health Equity Zones (HEZ) Initiative
The Health Equity Zones Initiative supports communities in effecting change at a local level by shifting decision-making to those who live and work in those communities. Communities of color, low-income communities, and people in areas with limited access to health care are disproportionately impacted by health inequities, yet their voices, experiences, strengths, and cultural knowledge are often not centered in decision-making.The initiative will challenge the systems and structures that perpetuate health inequities and build collaborative networks for collective action.
