Camryn Williams calls Bowie, Maryland home and serves as the Population Health Program Coordinator at Adventist Healthcare. A first-generation Sierra Leonean American and DMV native, Camryn reflects the diverse immigrant populations she supports—many of whom face complex challenges navigating the healthcare system. Her work centers on understanding and amplifying community stories, with a particular interest in immigrant health and narrative medicine.

Camryn’s role involves creating more inclusive spaces to make healthcare accessible and equitable. She is proud to contribute to this work by providing funding to local organizations addressing social determinants of health often overlooked in traditional systems.

Her commitment to public health is shaped by experiences such as being a 2020 CDC Public Health Scholar, a 2022 ELC Scholar, and an active leader with the Distant Relatives Project, a nonprofit focused on issues at the intersection of health and social justice. Camryn believes that health justice is the foundation of social justice. She is driven by a vision of a society where everyone is educated about their health, has access to care, and is empowered to promote social liberation.

Leadership, to Camryn, means fostering resilience and collective power. She draws inspiration from Fred Hampton’s words: “You can jail a revolutionary but you can’t jail the revolution.”
