National Health Equity Week

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.
