In this final episode of a series highlighting some of the foot soldiers of the AAO's Task Force on Disparities in Vision Health and Eye Care, I speak with Dr. Angela Elam, the first author of the white paper that headlined the compendium of articles and commentaries produced by the Task Force. She is a glaucoma specialist at the University of Michigan and played an essential role in this group's work. Dr. Elam is humble and soft-spoken, but as you speak to her you can feel the passion and fire she has for health equity work burning under the surface with a strong, consistent intensity. Her life’s mission is to take her passion and make things right for those who haven’t always been on the right side of health care access and outcomes.
