The Division of Health Equity and Community Engagement strives to conduct research and implement innovative initiatives that aim to eliminate health disparities and disseminate best practices to the scientific community. We are committed to studying the root causes of health disparities and inequities of patients that seek care in the emergency department (ED), while also developing interventions to address them. We also look to perform research that addresses diversity, equity, and inclusion within the healthcare workforce.
