Her work over the past 5 years inside of the medical freedom movement has been transformational. I’m deeply grateful for her skills, heart, and soul. It’s her time to lead. It is therefore a good time for me to end my operative career in this space to have more time for my newest job as the CEO of FreedomMed.org. I am both honored and proud to have been able to create as well as lead UGHA during what has been such an important time in history.” The process of recruiting a new COO and CMO has been initiated and the announcements of who will be joining as the leadership team grows are coming soon.

I have the utmost confidence in Sweetin.” Urban Global Health Alliance is looking forward to leading the next generation of medical health advocates, putting informed consent at the forefront of its initiatives.
