“Every day in our community people are working hard to support their families and yet there are massive inequalities in terms of health and that isn’t right. Everyone that works hard deserves the best chance at health. I advocate to advance health equity, the assurance of the conditions for optimal health for all. Health equity should be our guiding star in the health sector, if not society in general.”

Executive Director | Spokane Treatment and Recovery Services
