Dr. Sergio Aguilar-Gaxiola is a Distinguished Professor of Clinical Internal Medicine at the University of California, Davis, where he has served for nearly 21 years. He is the Founder and Director of the Center for Reducing Health Disparities, established 21 years ago to develop effective solutions advancing health equity and mental health equity. Under his leadership, the center has demonstrated measurable impact at the county, state, and national levels, particularly serving underserved and historically marginalized populations. Dr. Aguilar-Gaxiola has worked in higher education in California for 36 years and has practiced medicine for 36 years, with expertise in mood disorders, depression, anxiety disorders, substance abuse, meaningful community engagement, and trustworthiness in healthcare.

A pioneer in global mental health, Dr. Aguilar-Gaxiola is one of the founders of the World Mental Health Survey Consortium, an initiative of the World Health Organization, active since 2000. He coordinates surveys in Latin America and the Caribbean, including national mental health studies in Mexico, Peru, Colombia, Argentina, and Brazil, and collaborates closely with Dr. Ronald Kessler of Harvard, the world’s most published mental health researcher. He has chaired the National Academy of Medicine committee on assessing meaningful community engagement in health and healthcare policy and practice for nearly seven years and co-chaired the nationally recognized Principles of Community Engagement, published by the CDC in three editions, with the second edition downloaded 10 million times across 233 countries.

Dr. Aguilar-Gaxiola has developed and implemented innovative health service delivery models, shifting from a traditional “waiting mode” to a proactive “seeking mode,” bringing preventive screening and early intervention directly to communities. He serves on 15–16 boards nationwide and remains deeply committed to advancing health equity, mentoring successors, and shaping strategies that strengthen trustworthiness and meaningful engagement in healthcare. His career reflects a lifelong dedication to reducing health disparities, advancing evidence-based interventions, and improving outcomes for the most vulnerable populations.
