McClain Bryant Macklin

McClain Bryant Macklin is the Chief Policy and Impact Officer at Health Forward Foundation, where she works toward health equity across the Kansas City region. She was born and raised in Kansas City, the daughter of a father who served on the City Council and led Freedom Inc., and a mother who connected neighborhood associations with the leaders and resources to build their communities. From them she learned that democracy is a verb, and she carries that lesson into her work for policies that let every family in Kansas City live long and well.
