Health Equity
• The assurance of condition of optimal health for all people.*
• This means that the everyone has a fair and just opportunity to be as healthy as
possible. Implicit in this is the requirement that such obstacles to optimal health be
removed such as poverty, discrimination, and their consequences, including powerlessness and lack of access to good jobs with fair pay, quality education and
house, safe environments and health care.**

What We’ve Learned in 2020
Being responsible
and accountable for
applying a racial
equity lens is of the
utmost importance.
COVID-19 is not
gone, its impact
will be long-
lasting.
The next 1-2 years
will be significant
for state budgets
relative to adult
dental benefits.
New
Administration
means potential
new state &
federal
opportunities.
There are broad,
cross-sectoral
opportunities for
transformation in
oral health and
dentistry.
Community voice,
advocacy, and
systems-change
are critical
components to the
work.
