She holds joint appointments in the Welch Center for Prevention, Epidemiology, and Clinical Research, in the Department of Epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and in the Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality. An internationally recognized physician-scientist and elected member of the National Academy of Medicine, Association of American Physicians, and American Society of Clinical Investigation, Dr. Golden’s research has used the tools of epidemiology and health services research to identify biological and systems contributors to disparities in type 2 diabetes and its outcomes. She served as Vice President and Chief Diversity Officer for Johns Hopkins Medicine (JHM) from 2019-2024, where she oversaw diversity, inclusion, and health equity strategy and operations for the School of Medicine and Johns Hopkins Health System. During her tenure she has executed implementation of Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services Standards; staff training for accurate collection of self-identified patient demographic data; system-wide policies prohibiting patient discrimination and discriminatory aggression toward employees and trainees and allowing the use of chosen names on ID badges; system-wide in-person and online unconscious bias and anti-oppression education programs; and a system-wide Disability and Accessibility Workgroup. In partnership with JHM Human Resources she helped launched the Levi Watkins, Jr. Mentorship Program, which is designed as part of the JHM’s talent management strategy focused on identifying and developing high potential leaders from underrepresented groups. During COVID-19 she facilitated mobile community testing and education for the marginalized in Baltimore City and equitable vaccine distribution to non-clinical, minoritized frontline staff across JHM. Dr. Golden is a leader in the national discussion advancing health equity, including supporting Maryland legislators in drafting and testifying in support of state-level health equity policy.
