The NMA is committed to a COVID-19 response that places equity at its center. Much progress has been made to protect, support and uplift high-risk communities in the face of this public health threat. In particular, the efforts of the White House, the NMA, organizations and collaborations in communities across the country amount to historical proof of how inequities in health can be minimized and eliminated with thoughtfulness, intentionality, and innovation.
While there remains much to do in pursuing COVID-19 equity, NMA President, Dr. Garfield Clunie, will be attending the White House Summit on COVID-19 Equity on November 16, 2022, which will highlight interventions and approaches that have moved the needle on equitable COVID-19 and a path moving forward. The NMA will continue to serve as the collective voice of physicians of African descent and a leading force for parity in medicine to eliminate health disparities and promote optimal health.
