Health Equity

Health equity means everyone has a fair opportunity to reach their highest level of health. This can only happen when ongoing societal efforts focus on addressing avoidable inequalities, historical and contemporary injustices, and eliminating health and healthcare disparities. The Maryland Quality Reporting website includes the following resources to help inform.

  • Conditions by Race and Ethnicity - An interactive breakdown of all inpatient conditions by race and ethnicity
  • COVID-19 - Understanding how COVID-19 disproportionately affects some Marylanders
  • Health Equity Program Inventory - A full listing by county of programs that are designed to assist vulnerable populations across the state
  • Population Demographics - State characteristics that help provide context for health disparities
  • Other state and federal resources that focus on health disparities
