It became evident early in the pandemic that health disparities and lack of health equity created greater challenges to prevention, mitigation, response, support to navigate care, address social isolation, and emergency response preparedness. This made many in our community much more vulnerable to the disease, socio-economic impact, and social isolation that continues to effect recovery for all. Using CDC Health Disparities Grant funding, the Maricopa County Department of Public Health (MCDPH), Office of Community Empowerment would like to partner with local and national organizations to provide health equity training. Maricopa

County’s Health Equity Training Series will support knowledge development and application for internal staff, external partners, and influencers of public health. Contractors will provide trainings, seminars, workshops, technical assistance, and mentoring to assist staff and the community to better understand health disparities, address health equity, and implement best practices for addressing emergent public health issues. Maricopa County’s Health Equity Training Series will include monthly sessions for subrecipients of the Health Disparities grant, contracted agencies, and quarterly training for MCDPH staff. Ad-hoc training will also be offered on a smaller scale to cover topics tailored to specific subrecipients. The goal is to improve MCDPH and our community’s understanding of health equity and health disparity principles; the intention is an increased capacity to prevent, mitigate, vaccinate, treat, and aid in recovery from COVID-19 in addition to ongoing health and societal effects of the disease.
