118- Resuscitating the Health Professional Pipeline through Radical Wellness: It's not just your problem, we're in this Together! Keynote with Dr. NanaEfua Afoh-Manin

This session is Open to:

All of Saybrook Community


Title

Resuscitating the Health Professional Pipeline through Radical Wellness: It's not just your problem, we're in this Together!


Session Description

Radical self-care is not something that the professional should have to navigate for themselves, but rather a true investment made by institutions, public and private partnerships to transform workplaces and nurturing an emotionally-well-workforce prepared for the challenges and opportunities to drive systemic change. We simply do not advance health equity without first addressing the mental and financial wellness of the workforce leading change. Shared Harvest, under the leadership of Dr. Afoh-Manin, leverages empathy-driven technology to spread radical self-care and compassion through wellness, service, and student loan debt relief.

NanaEfua Afoh-Manin, MD


About Dr. NanaEfua Afoh-Manin


Dr. NanaEfua Afoh-Manin is a proud UCLA Bruin Black alumni who credits her dedication to community activism to UCLA's Community Programs Office leadership academy and Academic Advancement Program while receiving dual Bachelor Degrees. Dr. Afoh-Manin completed her medical training at URMC, her residency in Emergency Medicine at the University of Chicago Medical Center, and her Masters in Global Public Health and Disaster Medicine at Columbia University. She's a graduate of Stanford Business School's Healthcare Innovation Program. 

As a social entrepreneur and thought leader in health equity, Dr. Nana co-founded Shared Harvest, an empathy driven telehealth and health care staffing platform. She believes that health is a human right and has helped organizations and government agencies design programs that close the equity gap by addressing student loan debt and other financial, social and political determinants of health.

As an Emergency Physician and Chief Equity & Innovation Officer for Shared Harvest | myCovidMD - she has a twenty-year track record of improving access to higher education and strengthening support for BIPOC and underestimated clinicians. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated health disparities and increased the burnout rates of Black and Brown medical professionals. Witnessing this firsthand, she developed myCovidMD and led a community-based emergency task force to service hardest hit communities in LA, Oakland, and New York. The Community Health Partners (CHP) network is made up of culturally diverse clinicians serving vulnerable residents. This network has reached over 15,000 residents and continues to position itself as a trusted health resource.  Dr. Nana designed Project #RESUS and released the documentary, I Am Not Your Hero, to raise awareness, resuscitate the medical provider pipeline and reinforce support around Black, women and first generation health professionals. Shared Harvest is about spreading compassion through wellness, service and student loan relief for frontline health professionals while ensuring they receive the behavioral health services, peer support and capital they need to thrive. In 2021, she received the National Medical Association Community Service Award and was nominated by the LA Sparks as Women of the Year.
