This Public Health Conversation Starter features Dr. Thea James, who serves as Vice President of Mission and Associate Chief Medical Officer at Boston Medical Center, and Co-Founder for BMC Health Equity Accelerator, in conversation with Yvette Cozier, BUSPH Associate Dean for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice.
This Starter is part of SPH Reads, our school-wide reading program hosted by the Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice. In conjunction with this year’s book selection, Ripples of Hope in the Mississippi Delta, written by late Professor David K. Jones, Dean Cozier is having conversations with leaders who share similar interest and work involving the “ripples of hope” that Professor Jones identified in his book and beyond.
