The Office of Health Equity Advisory Committee
The Office of Health Equity Advisory Committee (OHE-AC) is integral in
advancing the goals of the office and advises in the development and
implementation of the OHE Strategic Plan. The OHE-AC is comprised of
representatives from applicable state agencies and departments, local health
departments, community-based organizations, and service providers working to
advance health and mental health equity for vulnerable communities. The OHE-AC
consists of a broad range of experts, advocates, clinicians, and consumers who
understand the important issues of health and mental health disparities related
to unserved and underrepresented communities. The OHE-AC works with the Health
in All Policies (HiAP) Task Force, and stakeholders, to provide a forum to
identify and address the complexities of health and mental health inequities and
to identify interrelated and multisectoral strategies. Additionally, the OHE
Advisory Committee consults regularly with the Office of Health Equity for input
and updates on the policy recommendations, strategic plans, and status of
cross-sectoral work.
