Kendalle Cobb, M.D., associate chief of staff at the Cleveland Clinic, will be the second VITALS speaker of the 2023-24 season from noon to 1 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 5 via Zoom.

Since being appointed to her role in 2021, Dr. Cobb has focused on recruitment and retention of physicians, with a specific focus on those traditionally underrepresented in medicine. She also serves on the Diversity, Inclusion and Racial Equity Council. Her responsibilities include helping the enterprise measure patient health disparities.

Dr. Cobb graduated from Harvard University with a bachelor’s degree in history and earned her medical degree from George Washington University in Washington, D.C. She completed her family medicine residency at Kaiser Foundation Hospital in Fontana, California.

The talk, free and open to all, will be moderated by Monica Robins, WKYC-TV’s senior health correspondent.
