Mary Bassett Biography

Since her Radcliffe days of working at a Black Panther Clinic, New York City Public Health Commissioner Mary Bassett has been a health champion. She began her career as a member of the University of Zimbabwe's medical faculty, a position she held for 17 years. Her experiences in Harare, which included the creation of one of the earliest HIV awareness campaigns, provided her with a unique perspective on addressing community health issues for New York City's varied communities. She has been at the forefront of efforts to encourage better habits, such as advocating for greater cigarette costs and a ban on artificial trans fats in restaurants. She has advocated for the medical community's stronger involvement in the #BlackLivesMatter movement and efforts to combat institutional racism in her present position.
