Driving Healthcare Legislation in a Polarized Era
Advising electoral candidates and elected officials on health policy issues to create legislation that improves health equity and access.
The Social Equity Action Lab is a policy think-tank and forum of students passionate about addressing systemic healthcare problems through legislation and policy making. Currently, we are advising two gubernatorial candidates on their health policy platforms, with a focus on executive orders and legislation that improves affordability, maternal and child health, and access to care in rural America. We seek to scale and offer this model of health policy advising nationwide to all elected officials, including mayors, representatives, senators, and governors.
Knight-Hennessy scholars represent a vast array of cultures, perspectives, and experiences. While we as an organization are committed to elevating their voices, the views expressed are those of the scholars, and not necessarily those of KHS.
