In the early 70s, Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) student Thaddeus John Bell was "angry, hurt, upset" upon learning of the wide health disparities between African Americans and the poor and the general white population and vowed to do something about it.
Today, Thaddeus John Bell, MD, is a family practice physician in Charleston and arguably the state's leading crusader in the fight to erase those disparities. He is the founder and CEO of Closing the Health Gap, Inc., a lowcountry nonprofit, tax-exempt organization dedicated to addressing health disparities.
On the current edition of Insight, Bhakti Larry Hough interviews Dr. Bell about his life and work.
