Elaine E. Batchlor is an American rheumatologist. She is the CEO of Martin Luther King Jr. Community Hospital and a member of the National Academy of Medicine.
Batchlor is a native of Maryland.[1] Growing up, her parents were politically active in the Civil rights movement and she attended the People's March on Washington. Due to her race, Batchlor was shunned by neighbors, so she spent much of her time by herself at the library.[2] She completed her Bachelor of Arts degree from Harvard University, a Master's degree in Public Health from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and her medical degree from Case Western Reserve University.[3] In 2017, she was awarded the Lester Breslow Lifetime Achievement Award from UCLA and inducted into their Hall of Fame.[4]
