The Health Equity Imperative

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation focuses on the social determinants that impact health, and Dr. Besser has been very vocal about how communities of color, tribal communities, poor communities face well-documented disparities in both access to health care as well as health outcomes. Recently, Dr. Besser has raised racism to the top of the list of social determinants. Why? And how can businesses, nonprofits and government leaders work together to ensure everyone in America has a fair and just opportunity to thrive?
