Dr. Makia Powers, MD

As a pediatrician and medical director, I have over 15 years of experience in providing quality health care to children and families, as well as leading clinical research and health administration projects. Currently, I work as a medical director at Aetna, a CVS Health Company, where I oversee the development and implementation of innovative health care solutions that improve access, outcomes, and satisfaction for our members. I also practice as a pediatrician at Blueberry Pediatrics, an online platform that offers personalized and convenient care to families across the country. In my previous role as an urgent care physician at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, I treated a variety of acute and chronic conditions, and supported the education and training of medical students and residents. I have a Master's degree in Clinical Research from Morehouse School of Medicine, and a Master of Public Health from Harvard University School of Public Health, with a focus on health care administration and management. I am passionate about advancing public health, community health, and health education, and I have multiple publications and presentations on these topics. I am committed to leveraging my skills and expertise to deliver high-quality, patient-centered, and evidence-based care to diverse and underserved populations.
