Maranda Ward, EdD, MPH, visiting assistant professor of clinical research and leadership at the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences, has been selected to serve on D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser’s Commission on Health Equity.
Serving on the commission, representing Ward 8, will allow Ward to marry her education and service efforts to advance health equity, she said, while also giving her the opportunity to make a positive impact in the place she calls home.
As a member of the commission, Ward will make recommendations to the D.C. Department of Health, D.C. City Council, and Mayor Bowser that address health inequities across the District.
The council unanimously voted to move her to the Ward 8 seat in December.
