Dr. Kahn currently serves the hospital as associate chair for community health and leads the medical center's community health initiatives, according to a Sept. 26 release shared with Becker's.
The health equity center, named for Cincinnati Children's former CEO, aims to address social, environmental and healthcare factors so "ZIP code is no longer a predictor for health outcome," according to the release.
