One Lever To Drive Health Equity Into Practice: Hospital Equity Plans

I’ve been working on pulling together various tools and resources to help policy makers and planners put health equity into practice — stay tuned here.  One lever several LHINs have used is to have their partner hospitals do health equity plans.  I looked again at this really useful analysis led by Sanjeev Sridharan of the hospital plans done within Toronto Central LHIN.  This process proved very successful at  mobilizing discussion and coordination within their organizations, and sharing experience across the system.  The hospitals are now developing their second generation plans.

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.
