Flagship initiative
National Health Equity Week
National Health Equity Week is Voices of Equity’s flagship annual initiative, uniting chapters across the country in a coordinated week of education, outreach, and community engagement around pressing health equity issues.
For Fall 2025, our focus was health equity through the lens of addiction — examining how substance use is shaped by disparities in access to care, stigma, systemic bias, and socioeconomic barriers.

Community Access and Resource Education (CARE)
What are CARE Packets?
The Community Access and Resource Education (CARE) Packet initiative is a Voices of Equity service-based project designed to improve access to care beyond the clinical setting.
Healthcare does not end at discharge. For many patients, recovery and long-term health depend on access to food, housing, transportation, financial assistance, mental health support, and other community-based services.
Bridging the gap
CARE Packets help bridge this gap by connecting patients with vetted, local resources that address the social determinants of health.
Through this initiative, Voices of Equity chapters develop patient-facing resource packets tailored to the specific needs of their surrounding communities.
Where CARE Packets are used
CARE Packets are intended for use by hospitals, clinics, urgent care centers, and community health organizations as supplemental discharge or referral materials.
Each packet is customized to the local community, ensuring patients receive relevant and actionable information about available support services.
