Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a heightened awareness and emphasis on the significance of health equity and the equitable distribution of health care resources and opportunities for individuals, irrespective of their social or economic standing.

The pandemic has brought existing health disparities into sharp focus, exacerbating them and prompting concerted efforts to address these inequities and enhance overall health outcomes for vulnerable and marginalized communities.

In this installment of the HC3 Podcast, Co-host David Smith leads a live discussion recorded on December 7 at the Illinois Medical District (IMD). The conversation highlights local leaders at the forefront of pioneering initiatives aimed at tackling disparities and promoting a more equitable health care system for all.
