Welcome to NJ4S Union Hub’s powerful webinar series, where we center voices that spark change and bring communities together. In this episode on “Health Equity,” we’re honored to feature Briana S. Ampadu, a dynamic public health leader committed to justice, access, and community-centered solutions. This eye-opening conversation dives into the deep-rooted health disparities impacting marginalized communities across the U.S., with a focus on how race, income, geography, and systemic barriers shape health outcomes. Briana offers both critical insight and actionable strategies to help us build a more equitable future for youth and families.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Understanding Health Equity: What health equity really means, and why it matters for every community.
  • Barriers to Care: How systemic racism, economic inequality, and under-resourced institutions create gaps in health outcomes.
  • Youth and Family Impact: How young people and families in underserved areas are uniquely affected—and how they can be empowered through awareness and access.
  • Community-Led Solutions: Examples of local, culturally competent strategies that are making a difference.
  • Tools for Change: What you, your organization, or your community can do to promote equity, uplift voices, and drive meaningful reform.
  • Whether you’re a young person navigating health systems, a caregiver seeking resources, or a professional looking to make an impact, this session will leave you informed, inspired, and ready to act.
  • Health equity is not a privilege—it’s a right. And together, we can fight for it.
