Aligning Health Partners Around Equity Using the City Health Dashboard

Tuesday, September 28, 2021
1 – 2 p.m. Eastern; noon – 1 p.m. Central; 10 - 11 a.m. Pacific 

Local data can help tell a community’s story and align cross-sector partners, including hospitals and community-based organizations, around the most pressing health and social needs. The City Health Dashboard does just that for more than 750 U.S. cities (all cities with a population over 50,000), supporting place-based efforts to improve health and the societal factors that influence it. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Dashboard now includes new measures like monthly unemployment, broadband connection and a newly developed measure of COVID risk, to help communities and health care organizations plan for response and recovery.  

This webinar – the fourth in a series – will explore the Dashboard's data and discuss how local health care delivery systems have used this free online resource to better assess local health needs and pressing challenges, better target resources to areas with the largest health inequities and accelerate health equity in clinical and community health improvement efforts.
