David Bunn

David Bunn is passionate about health equity and health disparity reduction to bolster the well-being and health of Mississippi's children. In his role with the Children's Foundation of Mississippi, he conducted research and designed a policy brief to inform the development of the Blueprint for Success.

David pursued a Masters of Public Health (MPH) focused on Health Policy at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. David received a Bachelor of Science in Biology in 2017 from the State University of New York (SUNY) at Albany and went on to Harvard Medical School to become a physician and advocate for his patients.

While in medical school, he noticed the systemic and structural barriers that prevented many patients from receiving adequate care. He consequently began conducting clinical research at Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women's Hospital to examine issues around access to health care and drug coverage, telemedicine, and cardiovascular disease outcomes. These experiences reinforced his passion for ensuring health equity and reducing health disparities, and inspired him to obtain an MPH after his third year of medical school.
