Reginald Ware

Most of Reggie Ware’s career has been spent fighting health disparities for Black Americans by educating, informing and inspiring them to make better decisions about their health and understanding that one size doesn’t fit all when it comes to healthcare. Black people’s health needs are different and require a different gameplan, one that leverages culture, content and technology to improve health outcomes.

As CEO of BlackDoctor.org (BDO), Ware and his team produce more culturally relevant health content for Black consumers than anyone else in the country. BDO is the nation’s largest and most trusted health and wellness destination for Black Americans. After 15 years of service, BDO reaches 19 million people per month on its platform, is the most trusted health resource for Black people and has more Facebook followers than WebMD. BDO also boasts the largest database of Black doctors and most are a part of the free doctor search tool, which allows users to find culturally-sensitive doctors in their area. This unique website is full of more than 10,000 articles and videos.

Ware’s previous media experience includes being the founder and publisher of Heart & Soul magazine, which was the nation’s first national health magazine for Black women. Under Ware’s guidance, H&S magazine reached over 1 million people per month and was among the largest magazines targeted to Black women.

Ware also oversaw the launch of two Television properties for Black Enterprise. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science in marketing from the University of Arizona, which he attended on a football scholarship.
