Dr. Milton R. Mills is a graduate of Stanford University School of Medicine and a practicing Critical Care and Internal Medicine physician in the Washington, DC metro area. Dr. Mills is the founder and president of the newly formed "Physicians for a Healthy America (P4HA) which is an organization of physicians of color and other healthcare workers and interested parties. P4HA’s goal and purpose is to promote the benefits of plant-based diets in communities of color, and also support research, social initiatives, and legislative policy aimed at improving the health profiles of African Americans and other marginalized communities. In the past, Dr. Mills volunteered as Associate Director of Preventive Medicine for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), a North American group of doctors and laypersons dedicated to promoting improved health care, better and more appropriate nutrition, and higher standards in medical research.

Dr. Mills has lectured and given research seminars across the United States and in Mexico, Canada, Ireland, and the United Kingdom on a variety of preventive health topics, including the negative impacts of meat and dairy consumption on human health. Dr. Mills’ compassionate and encompassing worldview has led him to apply his knowledge about preventative healthcare toward the unique challenges of those who are under-served by the mainstream medical model: minority and less affluent populations. As Associate Director of Preventative Medicine for PCRM, Dr. Mills co-authored landmark articles on the Racial Bias in Federal Nutrition Policy published in the Journal of the National Medical Association in 1999. A powerful public speaker and most importantly, an empathetic healthcare ally, Dr. Mills is a foremost advocate for a whole food, plant-based diet as providing the best nutrition, health, and athletic performance for all humans at every stage of life beyond infancy.
