Many EI Fellows are active in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, demonstrating their commitment to advancing health equity during a time of unprecedented crisis. The April issue of the EI Newsletter highlights examples of Fellows’ recent actions – in professions related to governance, policymaking, health promotion, raising public awareness, social services, advocacy, media, the arts, and more.

The 2020 Annual Forum was an opportunity to exchange deas and experiences, develop connections across cohorts, and solidify the identity of Equity Fellows, with the ultimate goal of multiplying the impact of the Equity Initiative and building a stronger regional community for health equity.
