In order to advance health equity, people need access to high quality, equitable education, well-paid and safe jobs, affordable housing, and freedom from discrimination and violence, among other important issues. As such, our legislative tracking is broader than most that focus solely on mental health, healthcare access, or education, as examples. We hope our curated list of Illinois legislation will provides guidance for those who care about health equity and think through the lens of the structural determinants of health inequities.
