To fulfill this mission, NBDF recognizes health equity is an integral component to meeting the mission. The HE Summit will solicit input from members of the inheritable blood and bleeding disorders community as well as from other important stakeholders such as providers, other organizations in the blood and bleeding disorder and rare disease community, health equity champions, and industry. Our goal for the HE Summit is to strive for equitable access and quality care for those with inheritable blood disorders.
The mission of the Health Equity Summit is as follows:
To bring together stakeholders around the topics of access to care and the political determinants of health for a better understanding of lived experiences, data outcomes, and evidence-based practices where each stakeholder group can intervene to make changes resulting in health equity for all.
Objectives:
- Transform organizational culture and better understand the political determinants of health.
- Address emerging blood and bleeding disorders community health needs, including issues with access to care, by supporting adaptable, innovative, outcome-focused, sustainable programs and services.
- Improve access to services and treatment by supporting integration and coordination of health services.
