This exhibition, entitled “Health is a Human Right: Achieving Health Equity” examines the ways communities across the U.S. are advancing health equity in the 21^st century. Focused on “good news wins,” the exhibition acknowledges that the only way everyone will have a fair opportunity to achieve their best health is to address the harms of the past while also looking ahead to what is possible. For more information on the exhibit: https://www.cdc.gov/museum/exhibits/hhr.htm
