Upequity believes that it takes a united effort to truly impact lasting change and is committed to contributing to the collective health equity movement to ensure healthcare is accessible to all who need it, when they need it.
Upequity is a registered 501c3 nonprofit that delivers patient-centered, evidence-based research and explores novel solutions to positively impact underserved communities with rare and serious chronic health conditions.
To reach our aim, we explore and advance novel ideas, conduct evidence-based research and incubate emerging entities in their journey to becoming organizations. Upequity’s work is focused on underrepresented and underserved populations including women, people of color, LGBTQAI+, the elderly, disabled, rural, and those struggling with limited financial resources who live with rare and serious chronic health conditions.
These Strategic Pillars focus our approach to achieving our organizational objectives, measures, and outcomes.
