The Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) has produced many reports and briefs that describe racial inequities, specifically between Blacks and other CDPH, a group of five Black women formed the Health Equity Index Committee (HEIC).

Blair Aikens, Dana Harper, Rachelle Paul-Brutus, Donna Scrutchins and Yaa Simpson-CDPH Health Equity Index Committee (HEIC)

Through this working group, they applied their diverse skills and expertise—including data analysis,  community engagement, and research—to present a unique perspective on how to define, measure, analyze and discuss health and health equity for Black Chicagoans.
