SNI’s Racial Equity Community of Practice

To help public health care systems advance racial equity within their organizations, California Health Care Safety Net Institute (SNI) launched a groundbreaking program – the Racial Equity Community of Practice (CoP) – in partnership with NEP in 2022. In the first phase of the CoP, 12 public health care systems built a foundation of knowledge and a shared language, strengthened organizational commitments to anti-racism, developed leadership capacity, and initiated tests of organizational change to embed equity in all aspects of care. Based on the success of this first phase, SNI launched phase two of the Racial Equity Community of Practice in November 2023.
