Syra Health announces strategic agreement with MCDPH, Arizona

Syra Health announced a strategic agreement with Maricopa County Department of Public Health, Arizona. As part of this recent contract, Syra Health trained over 100 public health staff in Maricopa County. The aim was to provide strategies to help organizations work with individuals or other organizations, that may have different perspectives or be at a different stage of implementing health equity. The target audience specifically included people who work with populations experiencing systemic barriers that disempower and cause disadvantages, that further widen health inequities. MCDPH defines Health Equity as “every person has the opportunity to be as healthy as possible.” The training helped people recognize the importance of removing systemic barriers, reducing health disparities through public health services, and collaborating with the MCDPH as strategic partners.
