Background

HAP’s Racial Health Equity Learning Action Network (RHELAN) convenes Pennsylvania’s hospitals to advance health equity by working collaboratively to address clinical inequalities that contribute to racial differences in health outcomes and harm patients. Informed by guidance from a steering committee comprised of health equity leaders from across the HAP membership, the RHELAN builds on American Hospital Association’s (AHA) Equity Roadmap to provide Pennsylvania-specific collaboration and learning opportunities.
