Health Disparities & Equity Research
Health equity has been a core value of the Regenstrief Institute since its inception. Sam Regenstrief was devoted to improving access to and delivery of healthcare for all people—a mission the Institute carries on today.
Today, Regenstrief is uniquely positioned to improve healthcare for marginalized groups by understanding where and why inequities exist. As honest data broker for one of the oldest and largest health data exchanges in the country, our research scientists have invaluable tools to identify disparities in communities and healthcare systems. They work with experienced healthcare researchers to discern the causes of disparities and develop, test and implement real-world solutions.
This video highlights the significant improvements in health outcomes that can cascade from communities to nationwide change when all these areas of expertise come together.
