#BlackHistoryMonth Fact: In 2000, Carolyn Boone Lewis became the first African American and first hospital trustee to chair the American Hospital Association (AHA) board. Her dedication to advancing health equity inspired the creation of AHA’s Equity of Care Awards in her honor. Black history is deeply woven into the foundation of healthcare, yet the contributions and challenges faced by Black leaders, providers, and communities have often been overlooked. This month, we recognize and uplift those who have shaped the path toward a more equitable healthcare system—honoring their impact, resilience, and commitment to justice in medicine. #HealthEquity #HealthierCommunities #Healthcare
