Summary:

Advancing Health for All: On the Front Lines of Equity and Justice captures stories of lived experience and additional research from those who presented at the Equity Summit, hosted by Tulane University School of Public Health & Tropical Medicine and sponsored by RWJF. Three parts articulate just why conversations around health equity must be rooted in a specific place, but that solutions in one city can still be useful to those of different population mixes and industry scaffoldings; break down the built environment's effects on health and what Gulf cities like New Orleans are anticipating going forward; and builds bridges from the infrastructure of the specific urban environment to the related population health challenges, from lessons gleaned from those living with HIV and traumas endured by Indigenous populations to what happens to individuals when their communities are forgotten by national organizations.
