By Natasha Brown, CBS Philadelphia October 28, 2021 You know her and many people trust her. Dr. Ala Stanford has been on the frontlines of the coronavirus pandemic. She has witnessed a growing demand for expanded health care services beyond just COVID-19 vaccinations and testing. Now, Stanford is opening a new clinic to help fill that void. The Dr. Ala Stanford Center for Health Equity, or "ASHE," is now a reality in North Philadelphia at 20th and Dr. Ala Stanford Way. Stanford founded the Black Doctors COVID-19 Consortium during the height of the pandemic, and the center will allow them to continue their tireless mission of vaccinating as many Philadelphians as possible.
