PROMOTING HEALTH & WELL-BEING THROUGH SOCIAL JUSTICE

This isaccomplished by collaborating with partners to implement programs, conduct research, and support strategies that address the rootcauses of inequities, including workshops, technical assistance, facilitation, and consultations centered around equity and social justice.

Projects within the Center for Health Equity Practice (CHEP) speak directly to issues of poverty, inequality, and the social systems that contribute to them. CHEP is currently working with staff at the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services to identify and implement strategies to address health inequities within the communities they serve.
