Health-Care Equity Sponsored by DOC ON A MISSION Dr. Willie Underwood III was hired this January as executive director of the Buffalo Center for Health Equity. He says the time has come for a focused regional effort on the disproportionate health issues that plague the city’s East Side. JOED VIERA DR. WILLIE UNDERWOOD III HAS WORKED ON ISSUES OF HEALTH EQUITY HIS WHOLE CAREER. HE’S JUST GETTING STARTED Q & A More than 300 people were in attendance at the University at Buffalo’s Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences in August 2019. The gathering was for the African-American Health Equity Task Force’s second annual Igniting Hope conference, with the theme “Building a Culture of Health and Ending African-American Health Disparities.” Officials for Erie County Medical Center Corp. used the occasion to announce a $372,000 grant for a new initiative, the Buffalo Center for Health Equity, which focuses specifically on health issues affecting residents of Buffalo’s East Side. Five months later, a Buffalo doctor was chosen as leader of the new program. Dr. Willie Underwood III is a urologist, biotech entrepreneur and member of the board of trustees of the American Medical Association. Underwood has spent his career on issues of health disparities and policies. He is a past board member of HealthNow New York Inc., the Love Canal Medical Fund, the Medical Society of the County of Erie and the National Medical Association Commission to End Health Care Disparities, among other posts. Founded in 2015, the African-American Health Equity Task Force is specifically focused on identifying racial and ethnic health disparities in Buffalo and enacting policy changes and community-level solutions. The task force works closely with the newly formed University at Buffalo Community Health Equity Research Institute. SEE UNDERWOOD, PAGE 32 MAY 15, 2020 THE FUTURE OF HEALTH CARE 31
