Achieving Health Equity Through Holistic Care

Achieving Health Equity Through Holistic Care:

Our special guest Chris Esguerra, MD, MBA Chief Medical Officer with Health Plan of San Mateo (HPSM) will be leading this discussion.
In this event, we will explore the connection between health equity and holistic care and the structures that need to be reconsidered in order to further holistic care that drives health equity.
We will start by defining health equity as the fair and just distribution of opportunities and resources needed to achieve optimal health outcomes. We will also define holistic care as an approach to healthcare that considers the whole person, including physical, emotional, and social factors, to promote overall health and wellbeing.
Our expert guest Dr. Chris Esguerra will discuss the ways in which health equity and holistic care are connected and what needs to be considered in order to achieve positive health outcomes for all. He will also provide a helpful framework for thinking about holistic care and the structures that need to be reconsidered, including payment, design, and regulations, to further this approach to healthcare.
Throughout the event, we will explore examples of successful efforts to achieve health equity through holistic care, including programs that address social determinants of health and promote community-based care.
