Community Health Equity Initiative

The Community Health Equity Initiative (CHEI) collects data on the social and structural causes of health experienced by Massachusetts residents, specifically among communities impacted by structural racism and other drivers of inequity. CHEI collaborates with community, state and local partners in using data to drive funding, programming and policy change to advance health equity.
