Loyce Pace is an American public health policy expert serving as the executive director of the Global Health Council and member of President-elect Joe Biden's COVID-19 Advisory Board.[1] She is an expert in global health equity, working to promote equitable access to health care around the world.

Education

After graduating from Phillips Academy in 1995, Pace attended Stanford University for her undergraduate work, where she studied biology and received her Bachelor of Science degree in 1999. She then pursued her Master of Public Health degree at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, which she received in 2005, concentrating on international health and human rights.[2]

Career

From 2006 to 2011, Pace worked as Director of Regional Programs for the American Cancer Society. She then became the Executive Advisor for Programs and Policy at the Livestrong Foundation before becoming President and Executive Director of Global Health Council in 2016.[citation needed]

COVID-19 Response

Pace has advocated against the United States withdrawal from the World Health Organization amidst the global pandemic, expressing concerns that other nations might follow suit during an international crisis.[3][4] In April 2020 when the United States first considered pulling their funding of the WHO, Pace led an open letter to the Trump administration to reverse course; the letter was signed by over 1,000 charities, medical experts, and healthcare companies.[5]
