Conversation with Mia Keeys

In the 6th episode, I spoke with Mia Keeys, MA, Chief of Staff to Congresswoman Robin Kelly (IL-02). Mia was previously the Director of Health Equity Policy & Advocacy with the American Medical Association. She formerly served as the Policy Director of Congresswoman Kelly's Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) Health Braintrust, the premier health policy arm of the CBC. We talked about her thoughts on COVID-19 and how her health policy priorities have changed as a result, a renewed societal focus on public health especially due to longstanding disparities and inequities within healthcare, progress made on health equity initiatives and healthcare delivery, and her career in public health and advocacy across all levels of government.
