15. The health inequities we see…are not
about just individual bad choices:
Nancy Krieger, Harvard School of Public Health
“
”they are about things not being fair

16. Health Equity
“Health equity means that every person, regardless
of who they are—the color of their skin, their level
of education, their gender or sexual identity,
whether or not they have a disability, the job that
they have, or the neighborhood that they live in—
has an equal opportunity to achieve optimal
health.”
