Community Conversations: Healthcare Equity Plan

People with low-income face many inequities that prevent them from living healthier lives. This month, we hosted three Community Conversations across Travis County about Central Health’s recently adopted Healthcare Equity Plan.

More than 130 community members in-person and online joined us to learn how Central Health is already addressing health care gaps identified in this plan while working toward developing a comprehensive healthcare system for Travis County residents with low income. When populations with low income don't have equitable access to quality healthcare, it affects everyone.

In addition, participants were able to ask Central Health staff members questions and offer their own insights as to what potential shortcomings still need to be addressed. Central Health staff members will use the information they gathered to help put together the Fiscal Year 2023 budget.
