Reducing Health Disparities: How Can The Structure Of The Health System Contribute?

The role of the health care sector in reducing disparities still must be defined and integrated into the system. This paper is a discussion and analysis of how to organize Ontario’s health-care system to increase the potential for reducing health disparities. The reduction of health disparities must be in the foreground of  discussions on health care structural reform in Ontario.

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.
