In her new book, Director for the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Equity and the Urban Health Institute, Lisa A. Cooper, MD, MPH, shows how we can work together to eliminate the injustices that plague our health care system and society.

The new release follows Dr. Cooper’s journey from her childhood in Liberia, West Africa, to her thirty-year career working first as a clinician and then as a health equity researcher at Johns Hopkins University.

“Dr. Cooper’s personal and professional journey is both riveting and inspiring; the scenes from her childhood in Liberia alone offer a global history lesson that resonates in present-day America. The unique experiences she brings to this unprecedented moment of the intersection of community health and racial reckoning make Why Are Health Disparities Everyone’s Problem? not only an essential read but a central question for our time.”
