The case study outlines how the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department (TPCHD) created a dedicated health equity team that put together a Health Equity Assessment report, which, in turn, allowed TPCHD to create a variety of tools, including maps and short documents, to help advance health equity. TPCHD also hired a health equity coordinator who uses these tools to encourage partner government agencies to prioritize health equity. These tools also inform internal policies at TPCHD, particularly around program planning and implementation.
