Speaker

Loretta is from the Twin Cities area, where she has lived most of her adult life. She was diagnosed with vitiligo in 2006 while working in endocrinology and was very unclear as to what it was or what it meant.

She has worked in health care as a Certified Medical Assistant (CMA) for 29 years, 15 of them in dermatology.  She works in general dermatology but specializes in cosmetic procedures as well. She has a passion for working in and with my community.

She has worked part-time as a Community Health Care Coordinator in partnership with the MN Dept of Health and the University of Minnesota for the last 16 years serving the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church and the surrounding community. Their goal is to help reduce health care disparities in communities of color through community screening and education.
