Gator Health defines health equity as a condition where all students have the skills and fair access to resources to achieve the best possible physical, emotional, and social well-being.
To achieve this Gator Health strives to provide a high standard of inclusive services, intentionally partner with campus groups that support historically underserved students, celebrate cultural wellness, seek to repair the harm done by the medical community to marginalized communities, and work to address white supremacy and other forms of oppression on health and well-being.
