Mobilizing the Power of Lived Experience to Improve Health Outcomes for All

December 5, 2024, 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. ET

In this final session of a three-part series, participants will be introduced to a community-engaged approach to health equity analysis co-developed by Equity Mobilizing Partnerships in Community (EMPaCT). Panelists will include decision-makers from the health system who have engaged with EMPaCT as they discuss:

• How engaging with communities through EMPaCT has transformed policy, practice and research projects.
• Lessons learned by co-creating solutions that center the voices of those most impacted by health inequities.
• System-level strategies that can mobilize lived experiences to improve health outcomes for all.

Since 2020, EMPaCT has been mobilizing the power of lived experience to ignite a health equity movement, with a vision for a future where health and social care systems are inclusive, just, and shaped by the people whose lives are most impacted.
