UAB Health System has donated $25,000 to establish the John Lewis Health Equity Program Support Fund. The gift, in honor of the Alabama native and civil rights hero, supports the UAB Academy for Addressing Health Disparities Through Health Care Leadership.
The Academy, housed in the School of Health Professions’ Department of Health Services Administration, is a summer enrichment program for undergraduate students aimed at reducing health disparities through the development of diverse, inclusive health care leaders. The students who attend identify as Black, Latinx, Native American or multi-cultural; are from rural, urban, and other underserved communities; and are the first in their families to attend college or graduate school.
