In this regional forum series, held in Columbus, Cleveland and Cincinnati, stakeholders will learn about Ohio’s overall health status and challenges, as well as health disparities and inequities experienced by minority and other priority populations across the state. Data and information will be shared from the 2017 HPIO Health Value Dashboard and the 2016 State Health Assessment.
Attendees will also learn about actionable, evidence-informed strategies that can be implemented by local health improvement initiatives to reduce health disparities and inequities, and move Ohioans towards health equity. Each forum will also feature a facilitated panel discussion on the impact of health disparities and inequities in that region.
The Roadmaps to equity forum series is held in partnership with the Ohio Commission on Minority Health and County Health Rankings & Roadmaps.
Registration begins at 12:30 p.m., with program starting at 1 p.m.
Forum attendance is free of charge.
