Building Bridges to Health Equity: A Path Toward Change

What drives someone to dedicate over 20 years to public health and social justice? For Reggie Tucker-Seeley, it’s a deep-rooted commitment to building solutions that will create lasting change in the communities and populations that need it most. In this enlightening conversation, Reggie takes us on a journey through his professional path, explaining how each step has brought him closer to his mission of empowering underserved communities and advancing health equity.

With a wealth of experience and insight, Reggie doesn’t just define critical concepts like health equity, health disparities, and social determinants of health—he also offers a powerful framework for how to actively create change in these areas. Listen as Reggie shares his approach to tackling these complex issues, offering a fresh perspective on how we can all contribute to transforming the systems that affect public health.
