La pandémie de la COVID-19 a mis en lumière des inégalités sociales et en matière de santé profondément ancrées qui font entrave à un rétablissement durable et juste pour tous. Ces obstacles font ressortir les difficultés auxquelles font face les populations vulnérables quant à l’accès aux services et aux renseignements en matière de santé dont elles ont besoin, y compris en ce qui concerne la vaccination contre la COVID-19.

On Jaunary 26, 2022, the Alliance for Healthier Communities hosted "Vax for the Future: Equity, Community, and Trust." This 90-minute webinar featured stories about tailored and community-based COVID-19 vaccionation from Centre Francophone du Grand Toronto and the TAIBU, Somerset West, and Woolwich Community Health Centres.

In March 2019, Ontario Health (Cancer Care Ontario) introduced a new overarching policy for breast and cervical cancer screening for Trans people (updated March 2022), providing clarity about who is eligible for screening through the Ontario Breast Screening Program (OBSP) and Ontario Cervical Screening Program (OCSP) and outlining steps that can be taken to reduce emotional and physical discomfort for Transgender and Non-binary people during the screening process. 

The impacts of climate change are already creating new barriers to health equity and strenghtening old ones.  People who experience structural marginalization, including anti-Black racism, colonial oppression, and material deprivation are disproportionately affected by extreme weather events, loss of access to land, food insecurity, chronic stress, and other direct impacts of climate change. Those impacts also deepen existing inequities. Because of this, antiopressive approaches to individual and community health should include mitigating and building resilience to climate change. 

Optimizing panel size is an important step primary healthcare organizations can take towards making care more accessible for their clients and communities and advancing population health.
