Description:CDC’s vision is to create a world where all people – in the United States and around the globe – live healthier, safer, and longer lives, regardless of identity or background. We all have a role to play to address injustices and overcome obstacles to health and health care to achieve health equity.
Health equity is achieved when no one is disadvantaged from achieving their full health potential because of social position or other socially determined circumstances. Health inequities are reflected in differences in length of life; quality of life; rates of disease, disability, and death; severity of disease; and access to treatment. Recently, the population health impact of COVID-19 has exposed longstanding inequities that have systematically undermined the physical, social, economic, and emotional health of racial and ethnic minority populations and other population groups that are bearing a disproportionate burden of COVID-19. Achieving health equity requires valuing everyone equally with focused and ongoing efforts to address avoidable inequities, historical and contemporary injustices, and the elimination of disparities in health and healthcare.
