PHC is proud to have participated in this important project about building a strong public health system.
Honored to have co-authored "Bridging Gaps: Diversity and the Future of Public Health" with Guadalupe Pacheco, Director of Programs at the NHHF (501C3) of the National Hispanic Medical Association (NHMA). This report highlights the importance of diversity in building a strong and effective public health system. Dr. Elena Rios, MD, MSPH, MACP, the visionary founder and CEO of the National Hispanic Health Foundation, is a trailblazer in the medical and public health community. Her leadership has significantly improved healthcare access, and NHHF continues to promote a robust system while training the next generation of public health leaders. I am proud to contribute to their mission! I also want to recognize the incredible contributions of the following leaders who made this report possible: · Lindsay Alexander, Child Mind Institute · Lupe Alonzo-Diaz, Physicians for a Healthy California · Georges Benjamin MD, American Public Health Association · Jeff Oxendine, Health Career Connection · Vanessa Flores, Health Career Connection · Britta Guerrero (San Carlos Apache), Native American Health Center · David Lubarsky, M.D., UC Davis Health · Steven Telliano, UC Davis Health · Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) · Office of the U.S. Surgeon General Read the full report here: Bridging Gaps https://lnkd.in/gmiEcbBq #PublicHealth #Diversity #NHHF #HealthEquity #Leadership
