This Women’s History Month, MN-SOPHE recognizes women who have helped shape public health education and strengthened health equity across communities.
Dr. Helen Rodríguez-Trías was a pediatrician and public health advocate who championed equitable access to maternal and reproductive healthcare and reinforced the role of community engagement in advancing public health.
Public health is stronger because of women who lead with prevention, equity, and systems-level thinking.
