Dr. Camara Jones Explains the Cliff of Good Health

Everyone should have the opportunity to achieve good health. But, as Dr. Camara Phyllis Jones explains through her cliff analogy, that’s often not the case.

We can reduce health disparities and better connect people to high-quality medical care, but to really make a difference, we need to address the social determinants of health and equity that protect some people and push others off the cliff.

The Urban Institute collaborated with Jones to illustrate her analogy of the cliff of good health.
