You’re invited to “This is Personal: Spotlighting Black Women Physicians’ Activism for Health Equity and Social Justice” with Dr. Kelley Butler, Resident Physician in Family and Community Medicine at the University of California San Francisco / San Francisco General Hospital.

In their profession, physicians vow to promote, maintain, and restore health and improve the quality of medical care and public health. However, influences on health and wellbeing extend past the medical setting–beyond doctors’ offices, hospital stays, and telehealth sessions. The legal, social, environmental, economic, and cultural contexts in which we live impact our ability to live our happiest, healthiest lives, as well as the kind of care doctors can provide.

Given this, many physicians are tending to their patients while also feeling the weight of these external factors. Those who are Black women especially feel this, as one of the most unprotected groups in the u.s. This is why so many of them also engage in advocacy and activism, on the frontlines and behind the scenes, to try to make things better for individuals and communities alike.

Join us on Wednesday, April 17, 2024 for a community conversation in which we hear one doctor’s perspective about why Black women physician’s medical activism matters. 

Here’s to uplifting the work Black women in medicine are doing, in person and online, to ensure health for all 🎉
