Who We Are
AAMC CHARGE cultivates the health equity community by advancing collaborative research, policy, and programmatic solutions to health and health care inequities. We are a global community of over 1,700 health equity champions representing the diverse sectors and organizations that contribute to a community’s health.

The vision of AAMC CHARGE is an equitable and just society in which academic health systems and their multisector and community partners:

• Prioritize health equity research, action, and policy change.
• Partner with communities, families, patients, and sectors outside health care to address the many factors that contribute to a community's health
• Advocate for structural changes that address the root causes of health inequities.

How You Will Make an Impact
