Black, Latinx, and Native American communities have been severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, but disparities in care go further than that. PTEC aims to study and identify health system reforms to reduce health disparities, including access to testing and treatment, lower rates of adult vaccinations, and higher rates of conditions such as metabolic disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. Through these findings, PTEC will advance policies and practices to help address urgent care gaps in underserved communities.
Vision
The Preparedness and Treatment Equity Coalition takes a metrics-driven approach to close the gaps in pandemic care and services in underserved communities.
