In this episode of the MGMA Insights podcast, we’re joined by Suzet McKinney, DrPH, MPH, CEO and executive director, Illinois Medical District, for a discussion on public health, underserved and vulnerable populations, social determinants of health, and how they all tie into COVID-19 and the country’s current civil unrest. McKinney is the only female Black CEO of a major medical district in the United States, an adjunct instructor at Harvard’s School of Public Health as well as a strategic resource for the State of Illinois’ COVID-19 efforts.
