New Rochelle, NY, March 16, 2022 --Health Equity, the leading peer-reviewed open access Journal that meets the urgent need for authoritative information about health disparities and health equity among underserved and vulnerable populations, is excited to announce that it is now the official Journal of the National Collaborative for Health Equity.

The mission of the National Collaborative for Health Equity is to promote health equity by fostering racial healing, harnessing research, data and information systems, developing leaders, and catalyzing partnerships across the many different sectors that share responsibility for creating a more equitable and just society.

Health Equity will support this mission through publishing high-quality, peer-reviewed research ranging from translational research on social determinants of health, and all aspects of healthcare and public health, including prevention, disease management and wellbeing. The Journal serves as a primary resource for organizations and individuals who serve these populations at the community, state, regional, tribal, and national levels.

“We are excited to embark on this new partnership with the National Collaborative for Health Equity which allows for broader dissemination of open access content,” says Editor-in-Chief Monica R. McLemore, RN, PhD, FAAN. “I look forward to working with the team at the Collaborative to ensure culturally and scientifically rigorous work is elevated and disseminated to assist clinicians, public health practitioners, policy makers, funders, and students to change the future.” 

 “For decades diverse clinicians, scholars, researchers and advocates have helped drive progress in addressing health inequities. We hope this important new partnership provides a needed platform for more of these vital voices, thereby accelerating the pace of progress in improving health and well-being.  The pandemic has demonstrated the urgency and imperative for achieving health equity” Dr. Gail C. Christopher.
