Four Black Female Doctors Launch New National Medical Show Addressing Health Concerns and Inequities Affecting Women and the Black Community – The C4PEMD
Real Doctors Unite Their Voices on Real Issues to Spread Factual Information and Save Lives: Empowering Women to Own Their Own Health
ATLANTA – June 23, 2020 – Four prominent female doctors of color have joined forces to launch a new television program aimed at addressing the unique health concerns and inequities in women and the Black community called The C4PEMD.
The C4PEMD was born out of our collective desire to effect REAL change in health disparities and women’s health,” said Dr. Brooks, “And the time is NOW.
The global COVID19 pandemic has unmasked long-standing health disparities, offering a renewed opportunity to re-engage in authentic and transparent conversations; provide tangible and relatable healthcare information to persons of color and women; and empower and equip persons of color and women to take control of their emotional, mental, and physical wellbeing.”
After practicing at a hospital in Charlotte, North Carolina, Dr. LaKesha Legree, a board-certified anesthesiologist, founded the Elev8 MD Wellness Center where she serves as the Medical Director who specializes in Ketamine treatments and mental wellness.
Dr. Brooks earned a medical degree from the University of Iowa College of Medicine.
