Health Equity Alliance
The Health Equity Alliance will unify the Stanford Department of Pediatrics into a force for equity and justice action for children and families who are most at risk for adverse health and educational outcomes.
The Office of Child Health Equity is excited to announce the inaugural year of the Health Equity Alliance!
The Health Equity Alliance will unify the Stanford Department of Pediatrics into a force for equity and justice action for children and families who are most at risk for adverse health and educational outcomes.
Health Equity Champions from eight Divisions are participating in the Alliance. Using a project-based model, Champions will be trained in Community-engagement, Strategic Policy Participation, and Policy-relevant Research.
Champions will create and operationalize projects to address a priority health issue and will receive technical assistance, mentorship, linkages to community partners, and resources.
OCHE celebrated the first year of the Health Equity Alliance by hearing from each Division and discussing our vision for the new year.
These four divisions, under the leadership of the Health Equity Champions and in partnership with our Office, are working to address health disparities through community-engagement, strategic policy participation, and building up their Division’s policy-relevant research portfolios.
In 2024 we will welcome the Pediatric Divisions of Critical Care; Adolescent Medicine; Hematology & Oncology; and Pulmonary, Asthma, & Sleep Medicine.
