The CA State Department of Public Health (CDPH) recently released a new video. The video describes statewide efforts to build equity infrastructure in local health departments. It focuses on the impact of recent dedicated funding from the CA Equitable Recovery Initiative (CERI) grant. Health staff from across the state provided testimonials. Highlights of the video include:

• The Importance of Doing Health Equity Work
• How Funding a Dedicated Team Helps Advance Health Equity
• The Importance of Collective Action to Achieve Health Equity

This resource was filmed during the first Statewide Equity Convening last fall. It features a segment from our own Deputy Health Officer, Dr. Curtis Chan. You can also catch cameos of other San Mateo County Health staff who participated in the event. Click here to view. For more information about CDPH’s equity efforts click here.
