Women's + Health Collective
Brilliant Social Change Agent
Nisha McKenzie is on a mission to change medicine. She works daily to help herself, staff and other medical providers acknowledge the bias they hold and how it affects the care provided. Her goal is to leave every patient she sees feeling more empowered in their health journey, more able to advocate for themselves when needed, and closer to their health goals. “Healthier, stronger, more confident people who feel like they have energy and space can then turn and give to this community in real and meaningful ways,” explains Nisha. Nisha believes each patient who feels heard is not only her greatest achievement, but also her fuel to continue forging a new path for medicine. “As humans, we know our bodies best. As medical providers, we know data, research and science. Combined, what a team we can make!”
