Office of Health Equity Partner Webinar Series, October 23

September 16, 2024

Office of Health Equity Partner Webinar Series, October 23

When preparing and responding to emergencies, it is crucial to embed health equity from the start to ensure that all people have equal access to kife-saving information, services, and programs.

Emergencies, such as a natural disaster or a pandemic, can have devastating impacts on whole communities. People in racial and ethnic minority communities, people with disabilities, people living in geographically isolated areas, and other groups often face systemic barriers and health disparities that are exacerbated during an emergency.

Join CDC’s Office of Health Equity (OHE) and our partners to learn about the importance of health equity in emergency response and preparedness. OHE and CDC’s office of Readiness and Response will present on its emergency response work, including the establishment of the Chief Health Equity Office (CHEO) unit in CDEC emergency responses.

Cost: Free

When: Wednesday, October 23, 3:00 – 4:00 p.m. EDT

This live streamed Zoom event will be presented with Web CART. If you require a reasonable accommodation to participate, please contact OHE@cdc.gov within 10 business days of the event to ensure timely interpreting and accessibility services are provided.
