Health equity means that everyone has a fair and just opportunity to achieve their highest level of health. Achieving this requires addressing the social determinants of health (SDOH)—the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work, and age—that influence health outcomes. These include access to quality education, stable housing, nutritious food, employment opportunities, and healthcare. Rooted in historical and systemic inequities, health disparities are shaped by factors such as poverty, discrimination, and geographic isolation. Promoting health equity involves implementing policies and programs that reduce these disparities and ensure that all communities can thrive.
