• 00:00As creative leaders in medicine and science,
• 00:03we constantly push boundaries to advance
• 00:05medicine for the benefit of humanity.
• 00:07In doing so, it is also our moral
• 00:10imperative to pursue Health Equity no
• 00:11matter the cause of the disparities
• 00:13that negatively impact the health
• 00:16of many populations. Here at
• 00:17Yale School of Medicine,
• 00:19we work every day to be a leader in
• 00:22Health Equity and Health Equity research.
• 00:23There is a science to understanding
• 00:25how to make sure everyone gets to
• 00:28achieve their greatest potential.
• 00:30We're thinking not just about
• 00:32the methods, but also about the
• 00:34impact. I'm profoundly
• 00:35excited to be at at Yale,
• 00:37within the office of Health Equity
• 00:38Research, where we've thought.
• 00:40Concretely, about how best to engage,
• 00:43how best to train some of the brightest
• 00:46minds in our community to work in
• 00:49service of our collective goals of
• 00:51trying to improve the health and
• 00:53well-being of people.
• 00:55You know, the things that
• 00:57shape our health geography,
• 00:58where we live, yes, how we identify,
• 01:01but also what access we have in
• 01:04terms of resources, finances,
• 01:06educational opportunity.
• 01:06Almost everything you get exposed
• 01:08to is a contributor to your ultimate
• 01:11health. Really special and unique
• 01:13about Yale is the collaboration
• 01:16across the School of Medicine
• 01:18with disciplines that really go
• 01:20from general internal medicine,
• 01:22addiction, genetics, cell biology,
• 01:24all the way through the law school.
• 01:29Scholars within History,
• 01:30Scholars within Ethics.
• 01:31We've been fortunate to launch
• 01:33several signature initiatives to
• 01:35advance HealthEquity research. We
• 01:37have the Community Research
• 01:38Fellowship program.
• 01:39We've launched the Community

• 01:42We have the Community
• 01:43Research Innovation Summit.
• 01:44We bring together experts,
• 01:46not just locally but
• 01:47regionally around the country.
• 01:48We have policymakers as
• 01:50partners who are eager,
• 01:51who trust the science that comes
• 01:53out of Yale School of Medicine.
• 01:55So the work we do will drive policy.

• 02:02in the United States,
• 02:03we've incarcerated more than

• 02:07Individuals that are incarcerated,

• 02:20In our country, every single day, because
• 02:23of health disparities, that is.
• 02:27Unacceptable. A gift for
• 02:30HealthEquity research. Will go
• 02:32so incredibly far in making
• 02:35deep and sustained change.
• 02:37It's about implementation
• 02:39and action and impact. Learn
• 02:42how your gift can help create
