Dr. Wilson leads IU Health in four key clinical priorities: behavioral health; infant and maternal health; hypertension; and tobacco and nicotine cessation. She and her team create innovative, scalable models of care to address these areas through a health equity lens. She has helped implement automated social determinants of health screening, on-demand virtual social work and behavioral health services, and community health worker models. In addition, she broadens care access by providing health services and screenings in community settings like churches, barbershops and community centers. In the two years since assuming her current role, Dr. Wilson has launched an evidence-based community health worker model to support at-risk Latinx pregnant patients, a program supporting at-risk Black patients with uncontrolled hypertension, an automated screener to assess social needs of medically underserved patients, and various accessible community health services. She is also board chairman for Madam Walker Legacy Center and Women’s Fund of Central Indiana, board secretary for African American Legacy Fund of Indianapolis, and board member and immediate past board chair of Indy Public Safety Foundation.
