The goal of the JWI is to make meaningful progress towards health equity through outreach, community partnerships, research, advocacy, and training. The JWI consists of three interrelated areas: community outreach, research, and training. In all areas, JWI collaborates with community partners who offer critical insight regarding risk conditions affecting health and healthcare utilization.
