“The United States has a broken healthcare system. The current system compensates providers for taking care of people who are sick. We need a healthcare system that compensates providers for making patients better. My goal is to fix the broken system.”

She strives to close the gap in healthcare disparities by addressing obesity, diabetes, hypertension and social determinants of health. She believes we have a broken healthcare system. An ideal system would reward providers based on improved health outcomes for patients. With 140 million Americans below the poverty line, addressing healthcare outcomes is her focus.

Jones-Smith is a writer and advocate. She draws from her professional and personal experiences when writing. She has been published in national, state and local publications. Her recent work is a research paper authored with 18 colleagues as a member of the APOL1 in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Delphi Consensus, a group of investigators dedicated to the study of APOL1, the first CKD genetic link to descendants of West Sub-Saharan Africa.  Delphi consensus and systematic review on diagnosis, education and care of patients with APOL1-associated nephropathy will be published in 2020.

Jones-Smith was recently appointed by Governor Greg Abbott to the Texas Chronic Kidney Disease Task Force.
