State and Local Health Equity Policy Checklists

The Healthcare Value Hub’s Health Equity Policy Checklists allow consumer advocates, state policymakers and others to assess how well their state’s policy environment supports health equity and identify areas for improvement by evaluating states’ performance on 39 health equity-related policies across six domains. 

The Checklists were created to support the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Voices for Health Justice initiative, which builds the power of healthcare consumer advocates with a focus on grassroots organizing, racial justice and anti-racism in 24 states.

State-specific reports are available by clicking the map or listing below.
