La Geographic Health Equity Alliance (GHEA), une CADCA initiative, is a CDC funded Réseau national dedicated to reducing geographic health disparities related to tobacco and cancer.
We define geographic health disparities as the differences in health behaviors and health outcomes related to where people live. Scientists have found that the locations in which we live, work and play have an enormous impact on our health.
Our network supports the implementation of effective public health practices in places that need them the most. We work closely with state tobacco and cancer programs and their partners to provide training and support on how to reduce health disparities and improve the health of communities across our nation.
