Attendees will also learn about actionable, evidence-informed strategies that can be implemented by local health improvement initiatives to reduce health disparities and inequities, and move Ohioans towards health equity. The forum will also feature a facilitated panel discussion on the impact of health disparities and inequities in northeast Ohio.
