Vision Statement

The Oakland County Equity Council supports equitable physical and mental health care access for communities most impacted by discrimination and system racism, and those most at risk for adverse health outcomes, to achieve improved health status and quality of life. 

About 

Oakland County's Health Equity Council, convened by Oakland County Health Division, strives to reduce COVID-19 related health disparities in ethnic and racial minority groups in Oakland County. The council consists of seven partner organizations and 3 community partners. Partner organizations include hospitals, behavioral and mental health, community organizations, and social service providers.

Oakland County's Health Equity Council is working on a strategic plan that demonstrates the council's commitment to creating a healthier and more equitable community for ethnic and racial minority groups impacted by COVID-19.
