Mission: Health Equity’s goal is to advance awareness of issues related to the health & healthcare of vulnerable populations. “Vulnerable” populations include individuals that are medically-underserved because of inadequate health coverage, poverty, food insecurity, or limited English proficiency – among others. These forces often result in striking health disparities, or unequal health outcomes. Our collective mission is to improve health equity through research, advocacy, education, and outstanding clinical care. Additionally, we seek to identify and harness individual and community resilience factors that also strive towards this goal.

Mission: Health Equity was created with support of the Division of General Internal Medicine (DGIM) at the University of California, San Francisco, and San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center.
