16 October 2023

Syra Health Corp. a healthcare consulting company with a mission to improve healthcare by providing innovative services and technology solutions, announced a strategic agreement with Maricopa County Department of Public Health (MCDPH), Arizona.

As part of this recent contract, Syra Health trained over 100 public health staff in Maricopa County. The aim was to provide strategies to help organizations work with individuals or other organizations, that may have different perspectives or be at a different stage of implementing health equity. The target audience specifically included people who work with populations experiencing systemic barriers that disempower and cause disadvantages, that further widen health inequities. MCDPH defines Health Equity as "every person has the opportunity to be as healthy as possible." The training helped people recognize the importance of removing systemic barriers, reducing health disparities through public health services, and collaborating with the MCDPH as strategic partners.

The attendees were from diverse educational backgrounds, including a high number of PhDs. "The response to the training was promising and participant reviews were exceedingly favorable," said Deepika Vuppalanchi, PhD, CEO, of Syra Health. "Eighty-eight percent of trainees felt that the content was engaging and relevant. These individuals also reported feeling more confident in their ability to incorporate new health equity measures into their work, further improving health equity statistics within their communities."

This endeavor not only positions Syra Health as a key player in addressing healthcare disparities but also highlights the company's dedication to social impact and transformative healthcare solutions.
