Supporting Healthy Communities
#HealthEquity
Join us for this global action week celebrating the power of information and technology to improve access to healthcare for all communities.
Celebrate the transformative power of health information and technology to make quality healthcare a reality for every community. Global Health Equity Week is a time to come together in a worldwide movement for change, where voices across the health IT landscape unite to create a future of inclusive, accessible healthcare.
Since 2006, HIMSS and its partners have championed this mission, beginning with U.S. National Health IT Week and evolving into a global initiative that empowers action, drives policy, and highlights innovation in health technology. From Washington, DC, to communities worldwide, this platform has illuminated the potential of digital health as a bridge to better outcomes, focusing on areas that create lasting impact: patient identification, maternal health, telehealth, and community wellness.
- Patient identification and access
- Maternal health and quality of care
- Telehealth and remote monitoring
- Tribal and community health
- Social determinants of health
Whether you're an advocate, practitioner, technologist, or community leader, join us in this powerful week of action to reimagine healthcare. Let’s bridge gaps, inspire innovation, and champion health equity together.
Stay tuned for how you can get involved, and be part of the movement for health equity everywhere. For questions, email us.
