Welcome to this week’s episode of the T&L WTD Let's Talk About It Podcast! We are thrilled to have Dr. Kathy D. Wright joining us today. Dr. Wright is a distinguished scholar and dedicated healthcare professional, holding numerous prestigious titles and roles. She is an Associate Professor at The Ohio State University College of Nursing, specifically within the Center for Healthy Aging, Self-Management, and Complex Care, and the Chronic Brain Injury Center. Additionally, she is a Harold Amos Medical Faculty Development Scholar under the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
Dr. Wright's research is groundbreaking, focusing on the complex interplay between hypertension and chronic stress, with a particular emphasis on reducing cognitive decline risks through innovative interventions. Her work primarily benefits Black/African American caregivers of dementia patients, a community often underrepresented in research. Among her many contributions, Dr. Wright has pioneered the use of hair cortisol as a biomarker for chronic stress, a protocol now utilized globally.
Her accolades include the inaugural Midwest Nursing Research Society Excellence in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Award and significant contributions to equitable funding processes for nurses from low-income countries. Dr. Wright's advocacy and leadership have also earned The Ohio State College of Nursing consecutive Health Professions Higher Education Excellence in Diversity Awards during her tenure as the inaugural Chief Diversity Officer.
