  As a family physician and registered dietitian, during Black History Month, I reflect on the various fearless trailblazers in healthcare and other sectors who broke barriers and overcame extraordinary obstacles to make my life possible. Access to healthcare and poor health literacy are still issues plaguing the Black community. Generally, patients desire a patient-doctor relationship where they feel comfortable sharing their personal and medical history.

February marks Black History Month. Historically, African Americans have been tremendous contributors to our country and achieved great strides in promoting diversity and inclusivity, despite facing many barriers.  I am very proud to be a part of the community and honored that there is a month dedicated to my heritage and our contributions.  Many African Americans have faced great disparities in healthcare, leading to higher rates of diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, and other conditions.  As an African American who has worked at Fidelis Care for 16 years, it’s my duty to serve the community in providing access to the best

Black History Month is a profound opportunity to honor the resilience, brilliance, and contributions of the Black community throughout history.

February, recognized as Black History Month, serves as an opportunity for us to reflect and uplift one another. This month, we also recognize the strength, achievements, and contributions of individuals throughout history who paved the way for progress despite incredible adversity. Black History Month is a time of both solemn reflection and joyful celebration. It’s an opportunity to share stories and inspire this and the next generation to continue creating and making history, continue unlocking doors, and continue stepping through them. Black History Month is a time that I celebrate every day as an African American woman. I take pride in the legacy and heritage of my ancestors. My grandmother lived to be 96 years old and always shared stories about “the old days.” I appreciate the resilience, determination, and sacrifices that have created the opportunities I enjoy today, both personally and professionally. I am dedicated to honoring it not only in February but also throughout the entire year. I am fortunate and appreciative
