Uché Blackstock, M.D., best-selling author, speaker, physician and founder and CEO of Advancing Health Equity (AHE), will speak at Physicians for a Healthy California’s 2025 Health Equity Leadership Summit.
Join us for a fireside chat where she will discuss her best-selling book, LEGACY: A Black Physician Reckons with Racism in Medicine, a captivating story of a Black physician, her career in medicine and the deep inequities that still exist in the U.S. health care system.
In 2019, Dr. Blackstock founded AHE with the mission of partnering with health care organizations to dismantle racism in health care and to close the gap in racial health inequities. Clients of AHE include Johnson and Johnson, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and New York State Department of Public Health.
Dr. Blackstock appears regularly on MSNBC and NBC News and is a former associate professor in the NYU School of Medicine Department of Emergency Medicine and the former faculty director for recruitment, retention and inclusion in the Office of Diversity Affairs.
She was recognized by Forbes magazine, in 2019, as one of “10 Diversity and Inclusion Trailblazers You Need to Get Familiar With,” in 2023 by Fortune Magazine as one of “13 Innovators Shaping the Future of Health” and in 2024 as one of TIME’s “100 Most Influential People in Health.”
