Webinar - Intersectionality Between Quality and Health Equity

When:  Apr 11, 2023 from 13:00 to 14:00 (ET)

There is no equity without quality and no quality without equity. Without the integration of quality standards to health equity, health disparities continue to go unidentified and thus ultimately unaddressed. This webinar will outline how health equity and quality intersect in health care delivery, and how to center an equity lens to provide high-quality care to all patients.
