“The more you learn about this man, the more incredible you know he is,” says cardiologist Paul Mather about emeritus professor Edward Cooper, MD. An accomplished Black physician now 97 years old, Cooper is a living legend in #cardiology and #healthequity whose story continues to resonate with former colleagues and new generations of physicians alike. From befriending and caring for #CivilRights icons to inspiring public health prevention of #stroke and #heartdisease for Black populations, “he’s a national figure and hero to many,” Mather adds.
