The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) outlined an action plan on April 20 that demonstrates the Biden-Harris administration s ongoing efforts to provide high-quality, affordable health care for all people, regardless of their background, and to drive health equity across the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Building on the agency s commitment to make health equity the first pillar of its strategic vision, CMS Administrator Chiquita Brooks-LaSure invited healthcare industry leaders to make commitments to advance health equity and work with CMS to share best practices to address systemic inequities in the delivery of care.
