Breaking down health equity barriers
Everyone deserves a chance to be healthy. But many people face barriers to a healthy lifestyle — including the conditions into which they are born, live, and work.
We’re committed to understanding the challenges that patients and communities face. We strive to make our tests and services available and effective for all. And we support initiatives that share our mission to help create stronger communities and drive better health outcomes.
Improving health outcomes for all patients

Part of living a healthy life is learning about health risks and how to navigate them.
- Having the tough conversations that help identify health issues and barriers that people and communities face
- Working to improve health literacy at a patient level by ensuring everyone receives a solid health education
- Breaking down the foundational barriers that lead to broader health inequity across the country
