Collaboration is the cure: Dr. Vivian Pinn calls for renewed efforts to bring about health equity Speaking at the university where she was the only female and only African American student in her class, and in the auditorium named for her, “Healing Hate” conference keynote speaker Dr. Vivian Pinn reflects on progressing her career during eras of segregation, discrimination, and civil rights.  Pinn says it’s important to address the erroneous historical racial stereotypes that have informed contemporary unconscious bias. In working toward health equity, she says interdisciplinary collaboration is critical. “You’ve got to work together,” Pinn says. “No one person, no one group is responsible for it all. That synergy of collaboration, you can't beat.” She also describes her work at NIH, where she was the inaugural Director of the Office of Research on Women’s Health, and explains why it’s so important that everyone get involved at the socio-political level.
