Data Equity Maryland Convening
Data disaggregation is not just a technical matter; it's a crucial step towards equity and fairness in healthcare and beyond. By disaggregating data, we uncover hidden disparities and ensure that all voices are heard and represented.
We are extending this invitation to all Maryland Local Health Improvement Coalitions (LHICs), Community-Based Organizations (CBOs), and local and state representatives. Your presence and insights are crucial as we work together to address data equity issues in our communities.
