From before our first breath in this world until we close our eyes for the last time, our health and wellbeing are inextricably linked to a set of circumstances beyond our control. Systematic failures in our healthcare system and our society have created health disparities that influence whether our lives will be shaped by health and prosperity or disability, disease, and premature death.

As an industry and as a society, we must boldly proclaim that health is our human right and commit to action through research, education, tools, and practices that dismantle systemic barriers and advance health justice for all.
