Abstract
This poster defines social justice in healthcare, addressing access and equity from local, national, and global perspectives. It explores solutions from local, national, and global perspectives as well, acknowledging biases surrounding the subject. Exploring it from these three perspectives raises awareness of the ways in which diverse populations have been affected, resulting in disparities in healthcare, ultimately leading to extensive gaps in education and resources. This project looks at the greater Bridgeport community, the overall United States, and healthcare accessibility worldwide. It discusses barriers faced by those that are poor and marginalized, and solutions that have potential to create great change. This project is utilized to gain a deeper understanding, and provides education and solutions that will assist in reducing social injustices within the healthcare system.
