The Path to Health Equity with Dr. Aletha Maybank, MD, MPH

Dr. Aletha Maybank, MD, MPH, is the senior vice president of the American Medical Association. Her main focus is on embedding health equity across all the work of the AMA and leading its center for health equity. The death of George Floyd lit a fire under the conversation about the health of the black community. She believes the history and understanding of what we know about health to be tied to the same narrative of these things have been made invisible. The AMA has been on the front lines of health equity since 1989. It's important to understand that equity is about the process and the things that happen in the process before the outcome. People have to be more aware of what equity is.
