Video Summary
The video discusses health equity, defined by ORN and SAMHSA as ensuring everyone, regardless of background, can access high-quality, affordable healthcare. Achieving health equity requires tackling barriers known as health disparities, such as transportation issues and concerns over immigration status. These inequities are rooted in racism, homophobia, xenophobia, economic disadvantage, and more. ORN offers culturally responsive services to promote health equity by addressing disparities and improving access. These inequities affect substance use treatment, with notable overdose disparities in Black and Indigenous populations since 2019. ORN has teams specializing in various areas to aid in achieving equity.
