Abdullah Pratt
Faculty Director for Community Engagement, Pritzker School of Medicine
Dr. Pratt advocates for systemic changes that would improve health literacy and access to sustainable healthcare, thereby addressing persistent healthcare disparities that often lead patients to seek treatment for non-life threatening illnesses in Emergency Departments. He hopes to create youth sports programs that would not only provide access to acute care for injuries, but would also help instill greater resilience and preparation for success, as sports once did for him.
