Inclusion Academy, Experiential Learning: Why Your ZIP Code Matters. Exploring the Link Between Place, Poverty, and Health
November 18, 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm
Where you live shouldn’t determine how well you live—but too often, it does.
Join us for a powerful session that explores how geography, income, and access intersect to shape health outcomes. Learn how to recognize and respond to these disparities with empathy and cultural awareness.
In this session, we’ll explore:
- The powerful link between ZIP codes, poverty, and health outcomes
- How socioeconomic disparities impact access to and quality of care
- Respectful, culturally sensitive strategies to support patients from all backgrounds
This is more than a conversation—it’s a call to action for equity in healthcare and beyond.

Let’s work together to close the gap in healthcare access and outcomes—one ZIP code at a time.
