Good health is the cornerstone of progress, and since 1974, the Association of Black Cardiologists (ABC) has been dedicated to lowering the high rate of cardiovascular disease, including stroke, especially in minority populations. As an ABC member and Chairman of the ABC Access to Healthcare Working Group, I have spent my career pursuing a central goal of ABC—to eliminate the disparities related to cardiovascular disease in all people regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, geography, or socioeconomic status.
