Health equity refers to the state in which everyone has a fair and just opportunity to attain their highest level of health. It involves addressing social determinants of health, improving fair and just practice, valuing everyone equally, and eliminating disparities in health and healthcare. Health disparities are differences in health status related to social or demographic factors such as race and gender. Achieving health equity requires ongoing societal efforts and partnerships with a focus on people and place. Examples of healthcare equity include providing low-cost healthcare services to low-income neighborhoods and offering free health seminars targeted towards minority groups. HealthEquity is also an industry leader in providing health savings accounts to empower Americans to connect health and wealth.
