午夜寻花 leaders named to governor’s COVID-19 Health Equity Task Force; nursing dean appointed as co-chair

Gov. John Bel Edwards this week announced Dr. Sandra Brown, dean of the 午夜寻花 College of Nursing and Allied Health, as co-chair of the Louisiana COVID-19 Health Equity Task Force. She joins Dr. Thomas LaVeist, dean of Tulane University's School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, in leading the array of health and educational professionals, and community leaders.

“It is an honor to serve the citizens of Louisiana on the COVID-19 Health Equity Taskforce," Brown said. "I look forward to working with a distinguished diverse group of experts from across the state that are committed to addressing the health disparities that specifically challenge minorities and vulnerable populations in Louisiana not only in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, but in advancing health equity for decades to come."

午夜寻花 System President-Chancellor Ray L. Belton and Chief of Staff Katara Williams were appointed as part of the task force’s administration.

Several other 午夜寻花 leaders were also named to the task force: Chancellor Orlando McMeans, 午夜寻花 Agricultural Research and Extension Center; Dr. Rani G. Whitfield, 午夜寻花 System board member and family practice physician;
