Equity of Care Delivery

NCHA is undertaking a member-driven, multi-pronged approach to achieve equity of care in clinical settings by working together to tackle the systemic and enduring nature of health inequities in healthcare. The recently released NCHA Equity of Care Dashboard highlights the progress hospitals and health systems are making to improve health equity.

NCHA Equity of Care Delivery Resolution

Last year, NCHA invited all member hospitals and health systems to sign the Equity of Care Delivery Resolution. The Equity of Care Delivery Resolution provides members an opportunity to publicly commit and collaborate to examine and address disparities in care and outcomes. Nearly 90% of NCHA member hospitals and health systems have signed the Equity of Care Resolution. See the full list below.

Email equity@ncha.org if you have any questions about the Equity of Care Delivery Resolution or Dashboard.

NCHA recently hosted a virtual town hall panel discussion about how members are working together through the association to address racial disparities in care delivery. Click here to view the recording.
