Under the theme “Black Health and Wellness,” this year's Black History Month recognizes the contributions of those who have committed their lives to countering economic and health disparities that Black Americans often face in their communities. At AdventHealth, we pride ourselves in our team members' transformational stories and are excited to share them as our organization continues on its journey to address equity gaps in underserved communities.

In addition to his role, he also serves on AdventHealth's Enterprise DEI Council which provides strategic management and direction in the areas of diversity, equity and inclusion.
