Health Equity Impact Assessment Into Action: Home Care

Equity-focussed planning is an essential ingredient of comprehensive health equity strategies. Ontario has been developing and implementing a Health Equity Impact Assessment model and Wellesley has presented a number of workshops on how to realize the potential of HEIA. Each of these workshops uses different case studies to work through the model, geared to the particular audience.

This latest workshop was to the Great !deas conference of the Ontario Community Support Association and applied HEIA to planning home care programs to enable people to self-manage diabetes.

Acknowledgement of Traditional Land

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the Wellesley Institute operates. For thousands of years, it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
