NOHD is part of a national initiative to support public health transformation in local health departments. We are using this opportunity to integrate equity—fair and just inclusion—as a guiding principle for our work and to examine health equity issues facing children, youth and families (CYF).
Health equity means all people and communities have the opportunity to attain their full potential and highest level of health. Achieving health equity requires valuing everyone equally while focusing on eliminating inequities experienced by groups that have encountered obstacles to health based on their racial or ethnic group, income, gender, neighborhood, or other characteristics historically linked to discrimination or exclusion. It also requires addressing the social, economic and environmental conditions (such as housing, employment, public safety, and education) that create unjust differences in health status and opportunities for health in communities.
