We close our 4-part series on health equity in Ontario Health Teams with a focus on action! Building on our understanding of equity (April 2023), building capacity for equity (May 2022), and measuring equity (June 2022), this September Webinar will provide details on what activities are being undertaken to address health inequities. We have a special guest, Dr. Sarah Sowden of Newcastle University in England who will describe two interventions implemented in England. Dr Sowden is an Advanced Clinical Academic Fellow in the Population Health Sciences Institute at Newcastle University.
Then we will hear from Ontario participants describe interventions that are directly addressing equity in their Ontario Health Team. Greater Hamilton Health Partners, Central West, North West Toronto, and Kitchener–Waterloo–Wellesley–Wilmot–Woolwich will share programs that they are implementing to improve health equity through community hubs, neighbourhood models, bringing care to people living in congregate settings, and for people with no home at all. Dr. Paul Wankah who has hosted prior webinars in this equity series will lead off with ways that we can summarize the types and effects of programs and where and how they can be enacted. Join us to learn what integrated care networks such as Ontario Health Teams are capable of doing to improve health equity.
