Dr. Tania Pacheco-Werner, a research scientist for Fresno State’s Central Valley Health Policy Institute, will be a panelist at the Fresno Equity Forum from 10 a.m. to noon Monday, April 17, at the Hinton Community Center in Fresno (2385 S. Fairview Ave.). At the forum, co-hosted by Leadership Counsel and PolicyLink, the Fresno County Equity Profile will be released, providing a data-backed analysis of economic and social factors that result in racial and health disparities in the Fresno region along with an equity policy agenda in alignment with the findings.  The goal of the profile, developed by PolicyLink in partnership with the University of Southern California Program for Environmental and Regional Equity and Leadership Counsel with local community leaders, is to help advance policies that promote health equity and broad inclusion in regional economic growth.
