Our Health Equity Journey
AHIP and our member health plans know how important it is that all Americans are able to achieve their highest level of health and well being. To achieve this goal, we are developing an Industry Health Equity Impact Strategy that includes a focus on the improvement and use of data. Better data empowers local solutions that reduce health inequities and improve health care experiences and outcomes.
Stay Connected
We invite you to stay connected with us on this journey to eliminate all health inequities by directing our collective knowledge, resources, and advocacy for the betterment of communities. As part of our strategy, we ask you to share information about how your company uses data and other tools to drive health equity initiatives in your local communities. As our work continues, stay connected and share your thoughts and your organizations’ efforts with us.
Strategic Principles
Honor and respect the inherent worth of everyone and ensure every voice is heard
Engage in inclusive collaborations and partnerships to leverage shared strengths
Honor our health equity commitments by establishing clarity in outcomes and expectations
Think broadly about the root causes of inequities
Foster and rebuild trust in the health care system
We have to see ourselves in this work. We have to personalize this work, and we can't treat it as someone else's work.
