The Struggle for Health Equity: Dr. Louis Sullivan Stays Strong

From Community Health Center

Dr. Louis Sullivan’s leadership and advocacy for equity in the health professions have taken him from the classroom to the seats of power in Washington. He reflects on his own journey and the challenges that still exist for training people of color to become doctors and for other medical roles.

Dr. Sullivan served as Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and is the co-author of the new book “We’ll Fight it Out Here: A History of the Ongoing Struggle for Health Equity.”

We’re honored to have him join hosts Mark Masselli and Margaret Flinter to discuss these topics as well as the gaps COVID has exposed and the current political battles over equity.
