We are excited to share highlights from the Appleseed Health Equity Advocacy Conference held in St. Louis this past May. This inspiring gathering brought together advocates from our 18 legal justice centers across the U.S. and Mexico. Key discussions included the impact of social determinants on children’s well-being, health disparities within the criminal justice system, and the connection between economic stability and health outcomes. From Georgia Appleseed's work on School-Based Behavioral Health services to Missouri Appleseed's advocacy for improved healthcare access in prisons, our network is making significant strides in promoting health equity.
Watch the highlight video to hear reflections from participants and gain insights into our shared commitment to health equity. For a detailed account of the conference, visit our blog post on the Appleseed website.
