Pacific Northwest Health Equity Council

Our Roots

 

The Pacific Northwest Health Equity Council (PNWHEC), formerly known as

Region 10 Health Equity Council, was founded in 2011. RHEC X, as we were called, 

was one of ten independent, non-governmental regional councils formed to focus

on the 5 priorities of the National Stakeholder Strategy, to address health disparities

experienced by the racial and ethnic minority and underserved populations.
