The PAN Foundation joins Root Cause Coalition to advance health equity

The PAN Foundation announced today its membership in the Root Cause Coalition, a national group of more than 90 organizations focused on health equity for every American.  

One of PAN’s key policy priorities in 2022 is to advocate for legislation that makes healthcare affordable and accessible to all, without discrimination.     

We are thrilled to join the Root Cause Coalition and support their mission to collaborate across sectors to achieve health equity.

PAN President and CEO Kevin L. Hagan.

“We see the challenges that patients face every day to access medical care and know that disparities persist because of systemic racism in the United States. The PAN Foundation is committed to doing our part to working toward a more equitable and affordable future.”

Members of the Root Cause Coalition work in partnership with national leaders in the effort to address social determinants of health and engage in the ongoing development of relevant, effective strategies to reduce health inequity. The coalition’s work includes advocacy on topics related to health equity, research studies that identify best practices, and education for leaders and policymakers on a national and regional level.
