Equality Health Foundation Launches the Zip Code Exam Project to Drive Awareness of Health Disparities and Increase Life Expectancy in Underserved Communities
Equality Health Foundation is proud to launch the Zip Code Exam—a groundbreaking initiative to bring awareness to health disparities and inequities and improve overall well-being in underserved communities plagued by chronic health conditions, diminished quality of life, and decreased life expectancy.
Where you live can potentially have a bigger impact on life expectancy than factors like genetics. From food security, community walkability, job availability, education, housing costs, and access to healthcare—environmental factors determined by geography play a significant role in overall health outcomes and well-being.
