Join the AAWC Health Equity Task Force
At the Association for the Advancement of Wound Care (AAWC), we believe that the quality of a patient’s healing should never be determined by their zip code, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status. Unfortunately, disparities in wound prevalence, treatment access, and amputation rates remain a stark reality in our field.
The AAWC Health Equity Task Force is dedicated to dismantling these barriers. We are a passionate collective of clinicians, researchers, and advocates working to ensure that evidence-based wound care is accessible and equitable for every individual, everywhere.
Why Your Voice Matters
We are looking for dedicated members to help us turn clinical insights into systemic change. By joining the task force, you will contribute to:
- Advocacy & Policy: Identifying and addressing the social determinants of health that impact wound healing.
- Education: Developing resources that empower providers to deliver culturally competent care and patients in best caring for themselves in across environments.
- Research: Highlighting data gaps regarding underserved populations to drive more inclusive clinical outcomes.
- Community Engagement: Building bridges between specialized wound care and the communities that need it most.
Help Us Shape a Fairer Future
Whether you are a seasoned specialist or a student passionate about social justice in wound healing, your perspective is invaluable. We want to talk about the “equity gap”—we also want to close it.
