Health Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Community
Engage, Learn, Network and Advance Progress in Health Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
Racism is a public health issue. As health care providers, it's our duty to help create an inclusive culture, educate ourselves about racial biases and advocate for changes that reduce health disparities and promote equity. The Health Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Community offers you a unique opportunity to network with colleagues who share your interests.
As a community member, you’ll have access to a cutting-edge, online forum where you can engage in discussions, document sharing and knowledge exchange with your fellow nurse practitioners (NPs). Come learn, share and exchange ideas pertaining to diversity, social determinants of health, race, inclusion and equity.
A Message From the Health Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Community Co-chairs
Dr. Gullap-Moore — a board-certified adult nurse practitioner (NP), CEO of Moore On Health ™, anti-racism activist, health care policy analyst, and an elected official as a board trustee at Santa Barbara City College — has dedicated her 25-year career to improving health outcomes, particularly for those most marginalized and underrepresented. Her commitment to health equity is evident in her work to advance and protect the NP role by lobbying on the state and federal side and disseminating information about related policies and statutes among key stakeholders. While serving in an elected position, Dr. Gullap-Moore is on a temporary sabbatical as a health care provider specializing in chronic pain and medical addiction therapy.
Gullap-Moore distinguishes herself as an NP career advancement mentor and continues to serve within various nursing organizations and nonprofits. She has completed several executive board-level positions within and outside the nursing profession, completed an appointed position within the California Board of Nursing and two in Santa Barbara County and City. As of 2025, one of her cherished achievements is her involvement with the Santa Barbara Community Development Health Service Committee in allocating 12 million dollars in federal funding during her tenure from 2015-2025, benefitting several nonprofits in Santa Barbara, California. She was recently awarded the "Rising Star Award" from the Santa Barbara Women’s Political Committee, highlighting her courage to be a change-maker and role model. Lastly, Dr. Gullap-Moore is sharpening her policy analyst expertise as a part-time student at UCLA School of Law – Master of Legal Study (MLS) focusing on Health Law & Policy.
I am honored to serve as Co-chair of the AANP Community: Health Equity, Diversity and Inclusion. I have always held a special interest in the health care needs of diverse communities of patients. I am the Lead Clinician for Diversity and Inclusion for more than 140 offices of the Northeast Medical Group, where I maintain a large LGBTQIA+ practice and serve as an educator, mentor and support systemwide to all clinicians and staff. I share my passion on this topic at many conferences, universities and hospitals nationwide and am delighted that AANP has recognized the value of a community for other like-minded NPs. I look forward to serving as a resource and invite you to become a part of this group that will help improve this important and growing aspect of patient care.
