Health Equity Program Development

Health Equity Program Development

Health equity program development focuses on creating initiatives that address disparities in healthcare access, treatment, and outcomes ensuring people from different backgrounds and intersecting identities have equitable access to care. Health equity programs consider all social determinants of health during program planning, execution and evaluation. Developing programs that promote health equity helps identify and mitigate barriers that historically marginalized and under-supported groups may face in accessing and navigating healthcare.

Many patient advocacy groups are looking to develop impactful, inclusive and effective programs to address the social determinants of health for their communities and improve patient outcomes. Health equity programs should be nuanced, adaptable and tailored to the community. This is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Health equity programs can take on many forms depending on the community needs and social determinant of health you are hoping to address.

Whether you are looking to build capacity or a more boots-on-the-ground approach, Firak Consulting Group can support your organization’s health equity program development with:

Strategic Framework Development: Design and implement tailored health equity programs with actionable goals, measurable outcomes, and inclusive strategies that promote equitable access to care, reduce health disparities, and engage diverse patient populations effectively.
