Why we do

Creating a world where all people have conditions they need to thrive and be healthy

Health Justice is a framework that helps us imagine a future in which sociocultural, political and economic systems work towards people’s health, not against it.

Fairness

Health Justice is about fairness. It is about recognizing that vital conditions of daily life are unequally distributed - not allowing everyone a fair chance to thrive.

Power

Health Justice is about power. A power that is distributed and rooted in relationships and solidarity.

Future

Health Justice is about the future. Our future together.

Dignity

Health Justice is about dignity.Dignity for patients, caregivers, and providers

Unity

Health Justice is about unity. The highly fractured society is one of the main reasons for poor health outcomes.

Clinicians are at the intersection of having resources and being resourceful. Many of them are sharing the lived experience of their communities, but at the same time have access to more resources (potential)

Resources and
Resourcefulness

The most common approach to activism among healthcare providers is a “lone-wolf” model. Lone-Wolf model doesn’t depend on building relationships and solidarity with communities or other clinicians. The result is even more isolation and sense of powerlessness.
