Dr. Glenda Speaks:
Insights from the Frontline

"Dr. Glenda is more than a physician, she is a powerful advocate, educator, and leader in internal medicine whose impact resonates far beyond the walls of any clinic or hospital. Her voice is one of clarity, empowerment and trust. She is a gift to her community and beyond as she guides them toward self-advocacy, as well as better health and informed choices. This was especially evident during the inaugural Dr. Edith P. Mitchell Health Symposium at Enon Tabernacle Baptist Church in Philadelphia, PA, where Dr. Glenda's presentation was both inspiring and transformative. Her insights and heartfelt delivery empowered the women in the room and continue to reach thousands more through Enon Tabernacle’s social media platforms. Dr. Glenda is truly a blessing to all who have the privilege to learn from her. Her mission to elevate, educate, and advocate is a vital force in health care today.”

First Lady, Enon Tabernacle Baptist Church
"We recently invited Dr. Newell-Harris, a distinguished medical director and passionate advocate for health equity, to talk to our Riverside community about the importance of health care advocacy. We couldn’t have had a better speaker. She teaches the tools to help you ask the right questions, assertively engage with healthcare professionals, and collaborate with specialists for the best medical outcomes. She brought decades of her experience in internal medicine and shared her invaluable insight on a subject she clearly champions: equal access to treatment and quality care. Dr. Newell-Harris’ presentation style resonated with our audience, and her message about how to confidently communicate, navigate and advocate for ourselves and loved ones empowered us all. We look forward to having her back.”
