As an ER physician and one of the country’s leading health equity advocates, Dr. Uché Blackstock has a deep and hands-on understanding of how systemic racism is affecting the health of BIPOC communities across the country. She was recognized in 2023 by Fortune Magazine as one of 13 Innovators Shaping the Future of Health, and in 2024 as one of Time magazine’s 100 Most Important People in Health. Her generational memoir, Legacy: A Black Physician Reckons With Racism in Medicine, became an instant New York Times bestseller upon publication in January.
