Fundamentals
The Nonprofit & Community Assistance Center is dedicated to strengthening and supporting
Northeastern Pennsylvania’s nonprofit organizations and grantmakers in their service to our region.

Efforts to address disparities must be part of a broader endeavor to transform health care. Improving the quality of care delivered to the population is an essential step towards building thriving, resilient communities.

During this session, Dr. DeGregorio and Dr. Vidal-Phelan will:
  • Define the key pillars of addressing health disparities
  • Examine the relationships between health disparities, social determinants of health (SDOH), and health outcomes
  • Share UPMC Health Plan’s efforts to reduce health care disparities
