Lindsay F. Wiley, Ruqaiijah Yearby, Brietta R. Clark, Seema Mohapatra
Abstract
Health justice is both a community-led movement for power building and transformational change and a community-oriented framework for health law scholarship. Health justice is distinguished by a distinctively social ethic of care that reframes the relationship between health care, public health, and the social determinants of health, and names subordination as the root cause of health inequities.
