CHICAGO, IL, UNITED STATES, November 12, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Black Girl Vitamins (BGV), a wellness company dedicated to the health of Black women, is pleased to announce the expansion of its medical advisory team with the addition of three Black women physicians. The esteemed doctors, Dr. Bryanne Standifer-Barrett, MD, Dr. Chinyere Okpaleke, MD and Dr. C. Nicole Swiner, will assist in product development, offer medical advice to the BGV community of over 100,000 women, and collaborate with the marketing team.

Importance of Black Doctors:

Black doctors play a crucial role in addressing healthcare disparities that disproportionately affect the Black community. Over the years, studies have proven that Black women often receive inadequate diagnoses, less effective treatment, and experience higher mortality rates. By welcoming these physicians to the advisory team, BGV ensures that their community is seen by a healthcare provider who shares similar life experiences and receives the specialized care and necessary support to live healthier lives.
