Dear President Biden:
On behalf of America's frontline physicians, we write to congratulate you on your election as the 46th president of
the United States of America, and to offer our assistance in our shared goal of creating a better health care system for all Americans, especially as we together take on the challenge of ending the COVID-19 epidemic. We are encouraged by and supportive of many of the actions taken thus far by your administration to greatly expand federal support for public health initiatives to address the pandemic, including prioritizing underserved communities and populations. We strongly support the goals of the Executive Order Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government, including requiring federal agencies to review agency programs and policies to assess systemic barriers in accessing benefits and opportunities for marginalized and underserved communities; consider whether new regulations may be needed to advance equity in these programs; and direct resources towards underserved communities.
