Roundtable: Reducing Disparities: Goals, Roles, and Opportunities

September 20, 2006, San Francisco, California.

Co-Sponsored by:
The California Endowment, Kaiser Permanente Community Benefit, and Kaiser Permanente Institute for Health Policy

Meeting Overview:
This roundtable convened 30 experts and stakeholders in health disparities. The aim was to push the dialogue on health disparities beyond the usual boundaries of health systems and toward notions of multi-sectoral collaboration, stakeholder engagement, and developing policy solutions to address the broad range of underlying influences on health.

Goals:

• Gain a fuller understanding of our roles in the disparities “landscape” and identify opportunities for expanding or re-focusing these roles.
• Develop a shared understanding of opportunities and barriers for policy action to reduce health disparities.
• Identify strategies for enabling integrated, interdisciplinary dialogue and approaches.
