HES

HES started in 2014 after the Connecticut Health Foundation completed a commissioned landscape analysis related to health equity efforts in Connecticut. It was determined that while several organizations had advocacy and/or health equity as a component of their work, there was no single organization working on advancing health equity through policy and advocacy initiatives in the state. Thus, HES was brought to life with Connecticut Legal Services as its fiscal sponsor and was established with seven prominent leaders as members of the board.
