Crystal Wiley Cené, MD, MPH, associate professor in the division of general medicine and clinical epidemiology, was recognized in Becker’s Hospital Review as UNC Health’s first executive director for health equity.
“Dr. Cené will collaborate with leaders to first understand the barriers to care and then lead a comprehensive research and data-driven approach with the goal of improving the availability of quality care for traditionally underserved groups,” said Wesley Burks, MD, UNC Health’s CEO and Dean of the UNC School of Medicine.
In the announcement, Cené says her goals include making UNC Health an “anti-racist system.”
