Our Role

Equity Policy Solutions conducted a Health Action Plan to recommend specific design and program elements that will improve the health and wellbeing of residents and reduce historic socioeconomic, health and racial inequities. We analyzed health and demographic data analysis, interviewed key stakeholders, and recommended evidence-based design and programming strategies to improve health for residents and the surrounding community
