The Equity in Care Medallion
Honors a medical institution that demonstrably closed the gap in health outcomes between underserved populations and the general patient population within its service region.
OUR IMPACT
Empowering Communities
Meridial's Community Health Bridge program deployed multilingual care coordinators, sliding-scale billing, and a network of mobile diagnostic units into regions historically underserved by the healthcare system. The Equity in Care committee noted that Meridial was the first large health system to achieve measurable parity in diabetes and hypertension management outcomes across income brackets within a single metro region.
