ABWP is Driving the Conversation on Health Equity!


We were proud to have our Immediate Past President, Dr. Cozzette Lyons-Jones, on a powerhouse panel for the Covered California Open Enrollment Kick-off in Leimert Park!


Dr. Lyons-Jones advocated for the critical shift from “sickcare” to true healthcare, emphasizing upstream prevention, early detection, and expanding our focus from just lifespan to healthspan.


She shared the stage with:


• Barbara Ferrer (LA County Dept of Public Health)

• Jessica Altman (Covered CA President)

• Michael Murray (AARP CA)


A huge thank you to our PR Director, Dr. Lydia Green, for ensuring ABWP was in the room!
