Health Equity For All is a place to engage with the health-related issues that affect the well-being of all of us today. It is a solutions journalism focused website created by Seniors in the Cabrini University Communication Department. Students in Senior Convergence: Media for Social Justice have harnessed their multi-platform skill sets to tell these stories that matter in text, video, audio, photos and infographics. They researched health inequities, identified root causes of these injustices, and reported on solutions for positive change. Thank you for being here to learn more about the need for health equity for all.
