Join us for a conversation about some of the opportunities and challenges facing our leaders and our nation in achieving a health system that centers health, wellness, and equity. Foremost among these challenges is the need for the nation to build a strong social contract. Our conversation will focus on the burden of racism and other destructive hierarchies on the social contract, why we must work toward the vision of an equitable system, and the conditions necessary for the vision to thrive. Health equity leaders Anthony Iton and Damon Francis will preview the principles, values, and key questions that must be addressed from their paper, “Envisioning a New Health System Rooted in Equity.” The paper is part of the Urban Institute’s review of the nation’s progress toward health care equity in the 20 years since the Institute of Medicine’s Unequal Treatment report and will be released by the Urban Institute later this year.
