Healthcare professionals from around the region have united to advance health justice and eliminate racial health inequities. The North Sound Race and Health Equity Alliance hosts an annual conference, bringing speakers and discussions to learn more about regional health inequity and how we can take action to better serve the needs of all patients. The Alliance also established the North Sound Health Equity Scholarship (view scholarship website here), which supports students of color on the path to receiving their advanced medical degrees, and increases diverse representation in health care in the North Sound region.
