Equality vs Equity: Know the Difference  
                                                     Health equality means everyone receives the same standard, while health equity means                                                     everyone receives individualized care to bring them to the same level of health.

These are known as social determinants. Health Equity additionally addresses the unfair and unequal distribution of resources along racial lines and the lack of access to resources. Health Equity eliminates Health Disparities and seeks to provide optimal health for all.
