Waiting for Health Equity

Waiting for Health Equity is a "graphic novel that aims to start new conversations about the complex challenges Colorado faces in working toward health equity."

Source: This project was funded by The Colorado Trust, as part of their Health Equity Advocacy Strategy. Work began in 2015 and many individuals and organizations contributed to its development. Center for Health Progress staff completed the writing and a Community Advisory Board consulted on the characters’ stories, depictions, and interactions, ensuring cultural accuracy and sensitivity. Additionally, focus groups of residents from various ethnic or cultural backgrounds were convened to provide feedback and improve the story’s reflection of Coloradans’ lived experiences. The graphic novel was illustrated by Ruben Chavez, whose vision, creativity, and artistic skill the idea to life.
