"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.”
