The Twin Sister Docs | Teaching Health Care Literacy

Growing up in North Philadelphia, the Twin Sister Docs witnessed a massive gap between their community and its health care professionals. Boasting a largely African- American and Latin X population, the community’s needs were largely neglected by medical establishments made up primarily of non-African American doctors with no ties to the neighborhoods in which they practiced. This neglect not only produced skepticism; it also drove a wedge between the community and the medical services they desperately needed. The Twin Sister Docs, recognizing they have a unique role to play – now seek to bridge that gap, restore trust in health care professionals and transform these multicultural communities through reliable health care.

Drs. Delana Wardlaw and Elana McDonald are identical twins with a shared mission: to reduce health care disparities and provide reliable, trustworthy medical care to those who need it most. As physicians with successful medical practices, they passionately believe in the power of health care to improve quality of life. As African American women from North Philadelphia, they’ve also seen first-hand the detrimental effects due to lack of access to quality care and overall mistrust of Medical establishments often cause delay in seeking adequate Healthcare.
