== Brooke Cunningham ==
Brooke is an Assistant Professor at the University of Minnesota Family Medicine and Community Health research.
She was previously a research fellow at the Medica Research Institute, exploring how provide and health system factors shape the way organizations address health care disparities. She's talked about how the healthcare system collects and profiles patient data in relation to recommended treatments. She offers insight and perspective on how racial bias is built into our systems and how we should approach how we use the data we collect.
Brooke has a specific interest in race and racism and thinking about race as a system of social stratification, not a biologically valid category. "Cunningham is committed to being part of the next generation of health disparities researchers that advances the field, from the documentation of differences in the health status of population groups to identifying solutions to reduce disparities."
