Mission
To help healthcare and public health organizations center anti-racism and equity in the workplace and reduce health inequities in the communities they serve.
Health Justice leads with racial equity and uses an intersectional approach that recognizes the way that other systems of oppression such as sexism, homophobia and transphobia also contribute to health and social inequities.
Health Justice achieves its outcomes through engaging presentations and talks, tailored online trainings, organizational equity analyses, and equity mentoring for leadership.

Vision
To create a world free of all systems of oppression where every human being and community is fully supported in achieving optimal health and well-being and where health inequities are non-existent.
Core Values
Authenticity
Transformative change requires candid exploration, reflection and discussion about one’s own beliefs and role in the systems and structures that perpetuate inequities.
Connection
Racism and other systems of oppression disconnect us from ourselves and one another; cultivating meaningful connection will help to create a more equitable and just world.
Commitment
Dismantling racism and centering equity in the workplace and the world, more broadly, takes time, effort, and an unyielding dedication to this vision.
