IHI’s vision is that everyone has the best health and health care possible. Achieving this vision requires closing the gap in health equity.

IHI’s equity work is guided by the IHI Equity Advisory Group (EAG), an independent group of advisors chartered by the IHI Board of Directors in 2016 to provide expert review and guidance to improve the consistency and credibility of IHI’s internal and external equity work.

The EAG helps IHI advance our learning in equity, focus IHI’s strategy and programs, review and help develop IHI activities, advise on advocacy opportunities, and support new partnership development.
