HEALTH EQUITY RESOURCES
Creating health equity is of highest priority for the Jackson County Department of Public Health. When we say health equity, we mean helping create an environment in which everyone has the opportunity to attain their highest level of health. As we work to create this environment in Jackson County, we know we can’t do it alone. It takes the efforts of all in our community, working and growing together.

We’ve compiled a living list of resources that anyone can read as we work as together to build a better Jackson County. As we identify more helpful resources, we will add them here.
