Health Equity Initiative

A volunteer nonprofit organization dedicated to building a global community that engages across sectors and disciplines to advance health equity

Together we are reimagining the dynamics of health and social systems. As a member-driven nonprofit organization, Health Equity Initiative (HEI) is dedicated to build a global community that engages across sectors and disciplines to advance health equity. By bringing together and enlisting the efforts of the public and private sectors, professions and communities that have both a stake and an infl

uence on social determinants of health, HEI advocates for improving conditions and achieving equity in health for all. We focus on championing transformative change, supporting knowledge, engaging communities and leaders, and building capacity across sectors and disciplines to address barriers that prevent people from leading healthy and productive lives.
