Paths to Health Equity: Overcoming Health Disparities in Florida
Presented By:

Professor and Director
Center for Medicine and Public Health
Health disparities are a pervasive and persistent cause of preventable suffering and death, as well as excess costs. For example, we could save a baby's life almost every day in Florida if we could eliminate the black-white infant mortality gap (348 excess infant deaths per year). This session will explore multifactorial root causes of health disparities in Florida and the U.S., ranging from social "determinants" and structural inequalities to health behaviors, as well as healthcare access and quality.
