Health Justice Initiative
Creating more just and equitable healthcare, where people of color can achieve optimal health and well-being.
Our Services
HJI provides free or low-cost legal assistance to those who have experienced discrimination, denial of care, language barriers, medical debt, and lack of access to insurance or other resources relating to lack of access to medical care.
Litigation
Litigation typically involves legal action taken by individuals or groups who believe they have been wronged or harmed due to negligence, malpractice, discrimination, or other unjust actions within the healthcare system. This legal process allows aggrieved parties to seek compensation for damages, hold responsible parties accountable, and pursue justice for the harm they have suffered.
Dispute Resolutions
Dispute resolution refers to the methods and processes used to address conflicts, grievances, or claims of wrongdoing within the healthcare system without resorting to litigation. These methods aim to resolve issues through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or other alternative means outside of formal court proceedings.
Policy Changes
Policy changes in response to medical injustice play a crucial role in promoting fairness, accountability, and patient-centered care within the healthcare system. By addressing systemic issues and implementing reforms aimed at preventing future injustices, these changes contribute to building a more just and equitable healthcare system for all individuals.
