Using Leadership Influence to Promote Health Equity with the Health Leadership Fellows | Connecticut Health Foundation: "Using Leadership Influence to Promote Health Equity with the Health Leadership Fellows"

How do you use your leadership influence to promote health equity? At the June meeting, each of the four project teams in the Health Leadership Fellows Class of 2011 presented their projects and testified to the role of leadership in encouraging health equity.

To do this, participants form coalitions and choose real-world projects that tackle health disparities from a systems-change point of view.
