Bridges 4 Health Equity is our initiative to tackle Health Inequity, Advocate for Anti-Racism, and to educate on Social Determinants of Health – with the goal to make a positive, lasting impact for people of color in our communities.

When COVID-19 hit, we saw the disparities in Health Equity join larger discussions of Systemic Racism and the broader scope of Social Determinants of Health to become a social concern that could no longer be ignored.

Under the leadership of Jessica Brooks, the PBGH knew that real sustainable change had to come from all sides of the issue. Employers, while being one of the biggest purchasers of healthcare products and being the driving force of livelihood for most individuals, have taken a back seat to solving some of these problems.This must change.

We believe that the responsibility employers have for their community does not stop at the building doors. We believe that our collective efforts have the ability to support and serve our employees and their families… and in that, support our communities at large.
