Dr. Omari Hodge, CMDA’s new president, joins host Dr. Mike Chupp for an important conversation about faith, healthcare, and leadership.

As CMDA’s first African American president, Dr. Hodge shares his inspiring journey of faith and calling into healthcare, his conviction that medicine is ministry, and his vision for equipping the next generation of Christian healthcare professionals. Together with Dr. Chupp, he explores the importance of diversity, the future of CMDA, and how healthcare professionals can live boldly for Christ in their daily work.
