Christen Johnson, MD, MPH, family medicine resident at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, will be inducted by the National Minority Quality Forum (NMQF) into the 2020 class of 40 Under 40 Leaders in Minority Health. Dr. Johnson and her peers each represent the next generation of thought leaders in reducing health disparities to build sustainable healthy communities.
“I am excited to announce this year’s class of 40 Under 40 Leaders in Minority Health,” said Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) Health Braintrust Chair Congresswoman Robin Kelly, PhD. “In 2020, a host of unacceptable health disparities still plague our country. These new leaders are on the front lines working to eliminate health disparities, so they don’t impact this next generation. Their fresh ideas, innovative research, and robust advocacy will improve public health outcomes across our nation, and make a critical difference in communities of color that disproportionally feel the sting of health inequity.”
40 Under 40 recipients will receive their award at the 2020 NMQF Leadership Summit on Health Disparities and CBC Spring Health Braintrust Gala Dinner on Tuesday, April 28.
The NMQF assists health care providers, professionals, administrators, researchers, policymakers, and community and faith-based organizations in delivering appropriate health care to minority communities. This assistance is based on providing the evidence in the form of science, research, and analysis that will lead to the effective organization and management of system resources to improve the quality and safety of health care for the entire U.S. population, including minorities.
Congratulations!! Much deserved recognition.
