Equity Advisory Group
IHI’s vision is that everyone has the best health and health care possible. Achieving this vision requires closing the gap in health equity.
IHI’s equity work is guided by our Equity Advisory Group, which helps IHI advance our learning in equity, focus IHI’s strategy and programs, review and help develop IHI activities, advise on advocacy opportunities, and support new partnership development.
