Dr. Sinclair was elected to WSAS in 2021 for her work to increase health equity through implementation and evaluation of culturally informed health promotion interventions. For over 20 years Dr. Sinclair worked tirelessly to eliminate health disparities in American Indian, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander and Latinx people.
At this luncheon we will hear from Dr. Sinclair’s good friend and colleague Dr. Spero Manson, a member of the National Academy of Medicine who is widely acknowledged as one of the nation’s leading authorities on Indian and Native health. He currently serves as the director of the Centers for American Indian & Alaska Native Health at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. Dr. Manson will give a lecture entitled, “Preventing Cardiometabolic Disorders and their Sequalae among Native People: Dr. Ka’imi Sinclair as a Scientist, Cultural Innovator and Advocate.”
You are receiving this invitation as a friend or colleague of the late Dr. Sinclair or as someone working at the nexus of tribal communities and policy. This invitation is not transferable.
