Disaster Preparedness

  • Sydney Clark is now a disability and preparedness specialist for the Tennessee Department of Health, a state agency with the mission of protecting and improving the health of people in the state of Tennessee. She was born with a genetic condition that resulted in losing her vision over time. However, Clark never allowed her disability to stop her from achieving her academic and professional goals — attending the University of Kentucky and becoming a public health influencer and champion.Some of her projects have included examining emergency plans for inclusivity and providing preparedness for people that need electronic medical devices. She talks about her work on this week's edition of Dr. Greg Davis on Medicine.
