MINORITY HEALTH PANEL NAMES NEW DIRECTOR

SPECIAL TO THE COMMERCIAL

The Arkansas Minority Health Commission has named Idonia Trotter, formerly of Pine Bluff, as the new executive director.

Trotter obtained a Juris Doctorate degree from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock’s William H. Bowen School of Law and a master of public service degree from the UA Clinton School of Public Service.

A reception was held for Trotter recently at Mosaic Templars Cultural Center at Little Rock.

The mission of the commission is to ensure all minority Arkansans access to health care that is equal to the care provided to other Arkansans. The panel will also seek ways to provide education and to address, treat and prevent diseases and conditions prevalent among minorities.
