Shining a Light on Health Inequities & Cancer Part I: Dr. Lovoria Williams

  Dr. Lovoria Williams knew from her earliest moments that she wanted to be a nurse. Growing up in western Kentucky, she had watched her parents battle chronic illnesses and noted disparities even as a child. “I saw my mom suffer with diabetes and its complications and then die relatively early from colon cancer; my dad, had a long smoking history and eventually died from COPD. Also, growing up in the Black church, I noticed the high obesity prevalence and witnessed people become ill during worship due to having chronically poor health.”
