Advancing health equity in organizations and systems using frameworks as a tool

Advancing health equity in organizations and systems using frameworks as a tool

This webinar will present results of a 2023 review of the literature which identified 47 actionable health equity frameworks. Key themes about co-creation, use and implementation of frameworks were identified by public health practitioners and will be highlighted in this session. In this webinar, panelists from three organizations, a local public health unit in Ontario, a provincial health agency in Nova Scotia, and a state health and wellbeing agency in Queensland, Australia, will share their practical stories about laying the groundwork and implementing health equity frameworks. They will highlight opportunities and challenges experienced.
