HEALTH EQUITY IN OUR COMMUNITY

Health equity means that everyone has a fair opportunity to live a long, productive and healthy life. Conditions in the places where people live, learn, work and play affect a wide range of health risks and outcomes. Healthy Androscoggin works to address these health inequities through various projects and programs. The goal of Healthy Androscoggin’s health equity programming is to help local healthcare and wellness providers improve their cultural competency and increase access to care for diverse populations.

To learn more about any of these programs, ask questions, or access resources, please visit https://healthyandroscoggin.org/health-equity or contact Healthy Androscoggin at 795-5990 or info@healthyandroscoggin.org
