Southwest Regional Network
Welcome to our connection space for the Southwest Health Equity Network Region!
This is a place where we can support our health equity work. We invite you to make and strengthen relationships, learn about and support existing health equity work, share activities, success, barriers, and resources and learn more about how to influence policy, structural, and system changes.
We welcome the sharing of ideas and information from all! Let's focus our conversation on building connections and strengthening our communities' capacity to do the work. Pease keep comments on topic and suitable for everyone.
WHERE TO START: I encourage you to drop a pin on the main page to showcase where you are located within our state and regions!
