Topic
Complying in Advance: Understanding Risks and Opportunities for Health Equity Work In a Time of Uncertainty
Date & Time
Selected Sessions:
Feb 25, 2025 10:00 AM
Description
Health systems and community-based nonprofits across the country are navigating confusion, fear, and uncertainty in the wake of recent unprecedented, chaotic, and deeply harmful executive branch actions and orders. Some leaders feel like the only appropriate response is to comply in advance, scrub language, and try to stay the course while hoping to avoid attacks from reactionary officials or litigation. Others are curtailing health equity efforts, reconsidering social needs investments, or are shoring up policies and protections in support of their most vulnerable patients. Most are having a hard time keeping track of the policy threats.
Join us to understand the facts about current policy threats to health equity and social needs, get tools to assess risks to your organization and your mission, and identify a menu of actions to help respond to this moment.
This political moment is illustrating what we’ve always known: health inequities and unmet social needs are experienced as harm. In this webinar, expert panelists explain how to respond and protect your employees, patients, and communities from policies and actions that are putting people in harm’s way.
