Health Equity
The North Carolina Medical Society supports the achievement of health equity across all populations regardless of race and ethnicity, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, income, class, disability, health, immigration status, nationality, religious beliefs, language proficiency, or geographic location.
The North Carolina Medical Society supports the elimination of structural racism and all forms of structural discrimination whether overt or unconscious that thwart the achievement of health equity.
The North Carolina Medical Society supports efforts to work across health care and other sectors to achieve the goals outlined in the NCIOM Health NC 2030 Task Force Report.
