Interview Topics

• Precision medicine and race. Why treatment guidelines built largely on data from white patients can miss risks in Black patients — and how clinicians can close the gap today.
• The Black health gap. How ancestry, environment, access to care, and bias combine to drive higher rates of hypertension, diabetes, kidney disease, and cancer.
• Why Black men avoid doctors. The cultural, historical, and systemic barriers — and why meeting people in the barbershop and on the front porch works.
• Medicaid and minority health policy. Two decades on Ohio’s Medicaid Medical Care Advisory Committee and six years as Chairman of the Ohio Commission on Minority Health.
• Public health leadership. Serving as President of the Cuyahoga County Board of Health through the COVID-19 pandemic, including vaccine equity efforts.
• Better Black Health TV. Why a myth-busting show reaches people that clinical pamphlets never will.
