According to the CDC, health equity is the state in which everyone has a fair and just opportunity to attain their highest level of health.  Achieving health equity requires valuing everyone equally with focused and ongoing societal efforts to address avoidable inequalities, historical and contemporary injustices, and the elimination of health and healthcare disparities.  NC MedAssist Board Members support this belief and are seeking like-minded members.
