Health Equity Is Economic Infrastructure for Local Communities

At Aspen Ideas: Economy in Tulsa, Tulsa health adviser Jabraan Pasha argued that health and economic opportunity shape one another: income and neighborhood conditions affect health, while health influences people’s ability to learn, work and participate in the economy. Alongside Morgan Stanley’s Kim Henderson and Cherokee Nation deputy secretary of state Canaan Duncan, Pasha made the case for treating investments in food access, transportation, childcare and community spaces as part of building healthier communities and expanding economic mobility.
