In this inspiring episode of Cobb and Company, recorded live at the National Medical Association Annual Convention in New York, host Rolf Taylor sits down with the remarkable Reverend Dr. Lucy Perez. Dr. Perez, a former president of the National Medical Association and a former director of the NAACP, shares her journey from her early career in New York's public health sector advocating for communities impact by HIV, to her current work in addressing health disparities and promoting diversity in clinical trials through her church.
Dr. Perez reflects on her encounters with the legendary W. Montague Cobb and her advocacy for social activism within the medical field. She passionately discusses the systemic biases in healthcare and the importance of equitable treatment for people of color. The conversation also delves into the innovative ways her church, Kingdom Fellowship AME Church, led by Pastor Matthew L. Watley, is engaging its congregation in health research and clinical trials, framing scientific discovery as a divine opportunity.
Tune in to explore the intersection of faith, health, advocacy, and activism, and learn how communities can harness the power of knowledge and trust to drive positive change. This episode is a call to action for securing time to reflect, engage, and create a more inclusive and equitable healthcare system.
