ABOUT THE SUMMIT
Odyssey World International Education Services is thrilled to announce the Women's Health Equity Summit: Pathways to Flourishing.
This one-day event will bring together a diverse group of community leaders, health professionals, activists, and researchers to share, learn, and discuss strategies for advancing health equity for women, particularly women of color, in Clark County and beyond.
Our goal is to address the deep-rooted disparities that exist in healthcare for women and elevate solutions and strategies for positive change.
Through thoughtful discussions, shared experiences, and collaborative work, we aim to create pathways to a flourishing future for all women in our community and promote practices that advance health equity.
What does "Women's Health Equity" mean to us?
Women’s health equity means making sure all women—regardless of race, income, or where they live—have a fair chance to live healthy lives. It acknowledges that women often face unique challenges in getting care, such as being misdiagnosed or not taken seriously. True equity means closing the gaps so that underserved women, including Black, Indigenous, rural, and low-income women, receive the same quality of care as others. This goes beyond doctor visits—it includes access to safe housing, nutritious food, clean air, and support for mental and reproductive health. When women are healthy and supported, entire families and communities benefit.
