Initiatives to Enhance Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in Science

 

Health Equity Initiatives

Program Information

Increasing awareness of the impact of both social and demographic factors on disease burden and health outcomes has led to the growing field of health disparities research. Keystone Symposia’s Health Equity Series seeks to raise awareness for health disparities in various disease states, initiate discussions on how to rectify health inequities through scientific research and discovery, and showcase how scientists are bringing molecular, cellular, and genetic approaches to bear on health equity research and outcomes. By catalyzing these conversations, and bringing in diverse voices, we aim to openly address these issues and foster collaborative and innovative approaches to make health and medicine equitable for all.
