What does the future of health hold, and how can we ensure it’s equitable and accessible for all? BlackDoctor.org tackled this vital question in their recent “Top Blacks in Healthcare Thought Leadership Summit: The Future of Health” panel featuring a dynamic panel of the leading voices in healthcare.
Moderator: Kerri Gober, American Cancer Society Panelists
Panelists:
- Jude Ngang, Executive Director of Global Access & Use Evidence Generation, Amgen
- Niesha Foster, Vice President, Global Health & Social Impact and Co-chair, Multicultural Health Equity Collective, Pfizer
- Lissiah Hundley, Global Head of DEI, UCB
While there is no crystal ball, BlackDoctor.org’s summit offered powerful insights. Niesha Foster urged us to “Remember who we are. Be hopeful. Commit to change decision-makers” – highlighting the importance of clinical trials. Jude emphasized being “invested” in partnerships to transform. Lissah stressed the need to “understand your patients.” Grounded in hope, as Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us (“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future”), this discussion with top Black leaders is a must-watch.
