Equitable Access To Good Health And Health Care For Uninsured Residents

On April 29, I had the opportunity to present to the Toronto Board of Health recommendations and policy changes needed to ensure equitable access to good health and health care for all in Toronto, including our most marginalized populations such as the uninsured. Uninsured populations currently face serious and damaging barriers to good health and access to health care. But these barriers and their inequitable health impact can be addressed through better policy.

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.
