Kyle Lakatos used the Chang Prize funding to explore how to incorporate early childhood development health services into community centers in the San Francisco Bay Area by developing training materials for use in community centers and other non-traditional healthcare spaces. His work helps to combat health inequities by bringing early childhood development training to underserved and marginalized populations.

Lakatos says that the Chang Prize entered his life at an ideal moment, while he makes “the migration in my career from a researcher and educator to a physician and policy-maker.” He says that being selected for this award allowed him to dedicate himself entirely to “developing my vision of building health-conscious communities.”
