While talking about pride, let’s also talk about access

Through many roles — as Medical Director for the AIDS Education and Training Center at the University, member of the Nevada Public Health Foundation and medical consultant to the Washoe County District Health Department — she has taken the lead in speaking to professional audiences and the general public on topics such as AIDS, vaccination, disease outbreaks, bioterrorism and sex education, just to name a few.
