Center Strategy: Compassion in Action

Engage, Listen, Inform, Activate

Priority activities and programs that fall within the four areas of effort for CESJHH will focus on the following resolutions: 

• Engage: strategically and intentionally engage with diverse stakeholders around key topics related to the intersections of empathy and compassion, social justice, and healthcare to create dynamic, inclusive, evidence-based theories and approaches to reducing health inequities.
• Listen: create spaces for CESJHH and its partners to listen, capture, value, and amplify real life experiences and impacts from the community related to inequities and biases in healthcare.
• Inform: establish an evaluative framework for quantifying health inequities and associated impacts, and therefor rationale and a correlative assessment framework to inform the effective application of empathy and compassion to rectify injustices.
• Activate: leverage research, communication, and education to activate strategies, policies, and resources for improved social justice in the space of human health.
