Lifting health for all through research, education and community engagement

At the Center for Health Equity Transformation at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, we aim to lift health for all by exposing root causes of health inequities and serving as a hub that pushes boundaries in research, education, workforce development and community engagement. Our health equity initiatives extend fair and just access to healthcare, social services and educational opportunities to everyone without discrimination, racism or systemic barriers that create and perpetuate health disparities.
