Dr. Reddick shares insights from his extensive experience and recent publications, offering valuable guidance for medical and educational professionals.

Urban and Reddick’s conversation includes the following:

  • The Importance of Education: Understanding and promoting health equity begins with comprehensive education and awareness at all levels of medical and public health training
  • Integration of Public Health Perspectives: Integrating public health perspectives into everyday medical practices can prevent disparities and enhance healthcare outcomes for underserved communities
  • Practical Strategies for Organizations: Actionable strategies for healthcare organizations to implement that foster equity, including policy adjustments and community engagement initiatives

Dr. Reddick, a professor at Mercer University and the Chief Medical Officer at the Georgia Coastal Health District, utilizes his platform to advocate for systemic changes that support health equity.
