Join the Community Conversation with Angela Warren and Monica Avila, The Culture of Health Leadership for Racial Healing (CoHLI) Cohort 3 Fellows, working at the City of San Antonio Metropolitan Health District, within the Access to Care program.
The City of San Antonio committed to advancing racial equity in government with the formation of the Office of Equity in August 2017, which has since developed the Equity Indicators Report, the Budget Equity Tool, an internal Citywide Equity Committee, and numerous Department Equity Assessments designed to ensure racial equity in the delivery of City Services.
On August 20, 2020, the City of San Antonio passed and approved a Resolution declaring racism as a public health crisis, acknowledging that the effects of systemic and structural racism are a public health crisis in San Antonio and by committing to advocating for racial justice as a core element of all policies, programs, and procedures.
Why talk about Racism, Racial Equality, and Racial Healing? We must start somewhere…so let’s begin in a brave space, to create a safe space for people to be authentic and vulnerable. Racial Healing is a process that restores individuals and communities to wholeness, repairs the damage caused by racism and transforms societal structures into ones that affirm the inherit value of all people.
