2024 Case: Health Equity

Students examined the rise of private equity in health care and its role in addressing health equity.

Student teams were challenged with devising a for-profit investment that brings a better balance to the U.S. health-care system. The proposals ranged from telehealth platforms and community gardens to meal kits for SNAP users. The solutions served populations such as expectant mothers and rural communities, and involved for-profit and nonprofit organizations, social impact investors and a wide range of community partners.
