On March 16, we were delighted to hold a virtual dedication ceremony for Victoria O’Keefe, PhD, a member of the Cherokee and Seminole Nations of Oklahoma, as the inaugural Mathuram Santosham Chair in Native American Health at Johns Hopkins University. This faculty leadership chair is named in honor of the Center’s founding director, Dr. Mathuram Santosham. Dr. O’Keefe is a psychologist who develops, implements and evaluates culturally-driven behavioral health interventions in partnership with Native communities. She was appointed an assistant professor in the Department of International Health at the Bloomberg School in 2017, becoming the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health’s first tenure track faculty member of Native American heritage.
