PHILADELPHIA, PA — The Health Equity Consulting (HEC) Group has announced the addition of Taysha Frazer to its Health Equity Internship Program. A devoted advocate for public health reform, Frazer brings a unique perspective shaped by her lived experiences and academic expertise to the organization’s mission of combating systemic inequities in healthcare access.
Currently pursuing a Master of Public Health in Health Policy & Management at the City University of New York (CUNY) School of Public Health & Health Policy, Frazer has demonstrated a deep commitment to championing health equity, particularly for underserved communities. A first-generation college graduate, she overcame significant challenges, including language barriers, to graduate with honors.
“Taysha exemplifies the commitment that defines the next generation of health equity leaders,” said Dr. Whitney Perkins Witt, President and CEO of The Health Equity Consulting Group. “Her passion for Medicaid expansion, public health policy reform, and improving healthcare accessibility for low-income communities aligns perfectly with our mission. We are thrilled to have her as part of our team.”
As part of her internship, Frazer will focus on policy research, health equity projects, and efforts targeting social determinants of health. Working closely with cross-sector partners, she aims to drive forward meaningful reforms in healthcare access for disadvantaged populations.
“I am honored to join The Health Equity Consulting Group and contribute to its vital work in shaping equitable health policies,” Frazer stated. “This opportunity allows me to deepen my understanding of the intersection between healthcare access, policy, and advocacy while making a real impact on the communities that need it most.”
Frazer’s commitment to advancing Medicaid expansion, addressing public health reform, and advocating for equitable healthcare systems positions her as a valuable addition to HEC Group’s initiatives. With emerging leaders like Frazer, the organization expects to make measurable progress in addressing health disparities and reshaping policies to ensure access for all.
