IN SEARCH OF EQUITY, CORNELL P. WRIGHT, NORTH CAROLINA MEDICAL JOURNAL, MAY
2021 



North Carolina initiatives, including the establishment of the Office of
Minority Health and Health Disparities in the North Carolina Department of
Health and Human Services, have the common goal of eliminating disproportionate
mortality and other adverse impacts of social and economic drivers of health
among the state's historically marginalized populations.

The OMHHD provides leadership to ensure that issues of health disparities and
inequities are recognized and integrated throughout NCDHHS programs and services
in collaboration with community partners. The work of equity is ongoing and
needed in all communities to ensure that no one is forgotten or left behind.


HISTORICALLY MARGINALIZED POPULATIONS ENGAGEMENT TOOLKIT FOR HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS
AND PROVIDERS 



Health inequities and disparities among historically marginalized populations
(HMP) in the United States and North Carolina existed long before COVID-19;
however, the pandemic has spotlighted these glaring problems.

The toolkit is intended as a guide for NC healthcare systems and providers to
help ensure HMP are appropriately engaged in all aspects of public health and
healthcare delivery – from planning to evaluation, whether emergency
preparedness and response efforts or everyday programs and services.

The toolkit is organized to provide:

 1. A framework for embedding health equity into organizational infrastructure
    for long-term reduction in health disparities and improved health outcomes
    beyond the pandemic.
 2. Health equity considerations and strategies specific to COVID-19 response
    efforts.
 3. Resources (APPENDIX) to support health equity infrastructure development and
    COVID-19 response efforts.

The toolkit is a project of the North Carolina Department of Health and Human
Services (NCDHHS) COVID-19 Historically Marginalized Populations (HMP)
Workgroup.
