Achieving Health and Equity in Georgia: Achieving Equity in HIV/AIDS

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the highest rates of HIV diagnoses are in the South, and Georgia has some of the highest rates in the nation. Participants will hear more about the disparities that persist in HIV transmission and treatment and the work taking place to achieve equity in HIV care in Georgia.

The COVID-19 pandemic unmasked dramatic disparities, with African Americans and Latinx community members accounting for a disproportionate share of COVID-19 infections, hospitalizations, and deaths. Crises often amplify existing inequities and highlight the urgent need to address the root causes of health inequities.

Wellstar Health System’s Center for Health Equity and the Georgia Health Policy Center are excited to host a webinar series this fall focused on achieving equity in Georgia, in partnership with the Atlanta Regional Collaboration for Health Improvement and the Partnership for Southern Equity.

This series will engage community, clinical, and other partners in building a community-level understanding of health equity by exploring the root causes of common and persistent inequities and providing evidence-informed, practical tips and tools to address these inequities in Georgia.

Each session explores a specific equity challenge and offers examples from the field of efforts to achieve equity.
