What does Aretha Delight Davis expect to be doing in ten
years with a medical degree, a law degree and a degree in
public policy?
“I have so many plans and dreams, but the most important
one is that I want to serve people, primarily as a physician-advocate
for the poor. I would hope to see pediatric patients in an
underserved urban environment part-time, and use the rest of my
time to address the health care issues that plague the poor people
in this country.”
It’s a huge order. But the nightmare of access to health care
haunts her. “It’s unconscionable that there are 45 million uninsured
people in this country, and our fragmented system is certainly
not providing the necessary level of quality, safety and cost
efficiency to those who need it and deserve it.”
