9.G.27) Create a state Center for the Elimination of Health Disparities

The State-level office would monitor, assess, and address the social determinants of disparities of health access across executive branch departments, with the resources and authority to do so effectively.  Its functions would include:

  • program and policy development, implementation, and oversight;
  • training and technical assistance for legislative and executive branch staff;
  • data collection and analysis;
  • community engagement around combating racial, ethnic, and social disparities in health;
  • and evaluation of the effectiveness of programs designed to minimize these disparities.

This idea was advanced by the Commission to End Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities, and can be found in more detail in their Final Report from August 2007

27.a    The Legislature should create a statewide Center for the Elimination of Health Disparities
