73: Patient Empowerment with Juanita Belton
Color of Crohn’s & Chronic Illness (COCCI) was created to improve the quality of life for BIPOC who are affected by IBD, digestive disorders, and associated chronic illnesses through community, research, education, and advocacy. We partner with COCCI on projects like social posts and events like this town hall from July of 2023.
Juanita Belton, PA-C, MPH, is a physician assistant in gastroenterology at Boston Medical Center with a subspecialty in Inflammatory bowel disease and an instructor at Boston University Medical Center’s Dempsey Center for Digestive Disease. She is also the Director of Patient Empowerment at COCCI and a member of the Beyond Celiac DEI Advisory Board.
