Inequities in health care delivery mean that many people who most need health care have limited or no access to it. Race, socioeconomic and employment status, mental health issues, gender and sexual orientation can all impact patients’ access and experiences.

To advance understanding, we invite you to attend the Advancing Health Care Equity speaker series that will examine medical, legal, sociocultural and historical perspectives on this critical topic. Hosted by Professors Emily Merchant, Meaghan O’Keefe and Marina Ellefson as a part of their Quarter at Aggie Square curriculum, speakers will include faculty from the UC Davis School of Medicine and the UC Davis School of Law along with regional and international institutions and organizations.

The talks are free and open to the public.

RSVP for the speaker series to attend in person or via zoom

All events are scheduled for 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in either Betty Irene Moore Hall Room 3400 or the Center for Health Technology Room 1341 on the UC Davis Sacramento campus and livestreamed via Zoom. RSVP here to attend either in-person or virtually via Zoom.
