Guyanese-American Physician Leads Oak Street Health’s Mission to Empower Underserved Seniors

Dr. Yonette Davis, a distinguished geriatrician and senior medical director at Oak Street Health in the Bronx, is transforming healthcare delivery for older adults by integrating culturally-responsive care into her practice. Drawing from her personal experiences as a Black immigrant woman, Dr. Davis is dedicated to addressing the unique challenges faced by historically marginalized communities.

Having immigrated from Guyana at the age of nine, Dr. Davis was inspired to pursue medicine after a childhood encounter in an emergency room where she felt like “a number in a system.” This formative experience fueled her commitment to ensure that no patient feels misunderstood or overlooked.

Dr. Davis’s impressive credentials include a medical degree from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, a residency in internal medicine, and a fellowship in geriatric medicine at Montefiore Medical Center. She further enhanced her expertise with an Executive Master’s in Healthcare Leadership from Brown University.

At Oak Street Health’s Allerton and Soundview centers, Dr. Davis provides comprehensive care to Medicare recipients, focusing on chronic conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and COPD. She emphasizes the importance of understanding patients’ cultural backgrounds to build trust and improve health outcomes.

Beyond clinical care, Dr. Davis advocates for diversity in medical education and addresses historical injustices in healthcare. She believes that providers who embrace cultural diversity can foster stronger patient relationships and enhance engagement.
