Jennifer Alvarez

As the Project Manager for the Public Health Scholarship Program at Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science, I bring extensive experience in program development, community engagement, and health equity initiatives. With over a decade of experience in community organizing and partnership-building, I have worked to increase access to preventive mind-body practices like yoga and mindfulness in underserved communities, partnering with local institutions, schools, health organizations, and senior centers.

My background includes seven years of developing sustainable programs focused on health equity, where I have presented workshops on social determinants of health, cultural competency, health disparities, and harm reduction. In the international arena, I launched a birthing project in Guatemala to support indigenous Garifuna communities with health education, clinical care, and mentorship. Additionally, I studied the Cuban healthcare model at the National School of Public Health in Havana, applying their preventative approach in my public health initiatives.

My research experience includes a fellowship with The AltaMed Institute for Health Equity, where I contributed to the Centralized Opioid Management and Behavioral Approaches to Treatment (COMBAT) initiative, developing quality assessment tools to address social determinants of health in Medication-Assisted Treatment programs. I have co-authored a qualitative study on the experiences of formerly incarcerated youth of color, which I presented at the American Public Health Association Conference and CDU’s Urban Health Institute Conference.

With a holistic public health background, expertise in project management, and in-depth knowledge of CDU’s Urban Public Health programs, I am dedicated to advancing health equity and building a diverse public health workforce through the Public Health Scholarship Program.
