Biography
Nancy Gauvin’s professional background is multilayered and diverse which encouraged her path to equity access research, teaching and service. Her passion is to expand experiences as service providers from an equity and access lens to benefit colleagues and patients. Gauvin’s Health Equity Access Lab (HEAL) was established in 2024 to investigate health equity and access in the health sciences education and clinical therapy services for all. The lab does this by identifying barriers to access in all three of these areas. The HEAL team is dedicated to developing equitable practices to successfully increase continuity of care and to improve access to health care for systematically marginalized populations.
