In 2016, Health Affairs convened a "Health Equity Summit" with more than
two dozen leaders from philanthropy and academia to examine the research
and gaps in knowledge on reducing inequities in health care.
That meeting was the start of a years-long effort by Health Affairs to
drill down on these topics and has resulted in multiple thematic issues
of the journal and innumerable individual studies, culminating in the
2020 launch of the Health Affairs Health Equity program.
In February 2023, leaders of the Health Affairs Equity and Digital teams
published a study in the journal, Learned Publishing, detailing its
efforts to change how health policy research may perpetuate inequities.
In "A Seat For All: Advancing racial equity in scholarly publishing of
health policy and health services research
<[link removed]>," the
authors discuss the steps taken by Health Affairs to intentionally
develop programs and modify processes to advance equity and
opportunities for all within its enterprise.
On Tuesday, May 23, you are invited to join us for a "Lunch and Learn"
event at which manuscript authors and guests will discuss the
journal's Health Equity journey and share with the audience lessons
learned during this process.
The session will be hosted by University of California Davis Professor
Michelle Ko, a member of the Health Affairs Health Equity Advisory
Committee, and feature Tulane University Assistant Professor Andrew
Anderson, a recentgraduate of the Health Affairs Health Equity Fellows
Training (HEFT) program.
Anderson recently wrote about the high costs of ignoring health equities

in Health Affairs Forefront.
This event will be open to all.
