NEVER GOING UNHEARD
Good work should not disappear when funding does
AHEA creates structured opportunities for members to make their experience, contributions, and applied work more visible.
Profiles in Health Equity recognize the people carrying this work forward.
Cases in Health Equity document projects, approaches, and practice-based lessons that others across the field can learn from.
Published profiles and cases are made available publicly to extend the reach of the people, knowledge, and experience behind the work.
Featured Member Profiles & Cases
Heather Guidone, BCPA
Program Director
Center for Endometriosis Care
AHEA Member
Heather Guidone reflects on how lived experience with endometriosis grew into decades of advocacy, research engagement, and systems-focused work - and why meaningful patient and community partnership requires more than simply inviting people to the table.
Amy Boelter
Senior Manager, Abbott PhD Student
Meharry School of Global Health
AHEA Member
Amy Boelter reflects on a career spanning direct service, healthcare operations, clinical research, and inclusive trial strategy - and on what she has learned about making equity part of how organizations actually make decisions.
Michael Pappas, MD
Attending Physician
AHEA Member
Dr. Michael Pappas describes how residents rejected individual "wellness" fixes for a structural problem, built solidarity with nurses, staff, and patients, and won a unilateral cut in work hours - and why the conditions of those who provide care are inseparable from the care patients receive.
Profiles in
Health Equity
Recognizing the people carrying the work forward.
Profiles give AHEA members an opportunity to share their professional path, perspective, and contribution to health equity practice.
A profile may explore:
The experiences that have shaped your work
A lesson or perspective others may find useful
The contribution you are making or hope to continue making
Profiles are open to members across career stages, sectors, disciplines, and professional circumstances. You do not need a senior title or traditional leadership position to have experience worth recognizing.
Cases in
Health Equity
Sharing work that others can learn from.
Cases document how a project, program, partnership, strategy, or other applied effort was developed and carried out in a real-world setting.
A case may address:
The context or challenge
The approach taken and how it was adapted
What was learned and what others may be able to apply
Cases should focus on completed or substantially completed work. They are practice-based editorial features, not proposals, promotional pieces, or peer-reviewed research articles.
