Dr. Maya Green, affectionately known as “Dr. 100” for her candid and compassionate approach to healthcare, has made significant strides in advancing health and community wellness for the TLGBQIA community. A south side Chicago native, Dr. Green is a graduate of the University of Illinois at Chicago’s MD/MPH program and completed her fellowship in HIV Medicine at Rush University Medical Center. Her career has been dedicated to expanding healthcare access, with a particular focus on Black communities on Chicago’s south and west sides.
Currently serving as the Chief Medical & Health Equity Officer at Onyx Medical Wellness, Dr. Green developed the Nexus program, which streamlines HIV treatment and prevention services and has held leadership roles at the Ruth M. Rothstein CORE Center and Howard Brown Health, where she has championed healthcare equity. Dr. Green serves on the boards of several key organizations, including TaskForce, Life Is Work, 5:30 Scholars, and the Cook County Health and Hospitals System—each focused on uplifting historically overlooked communities.
Dr. Green alongside Dr. Catherine Creticos will serve as Community Grand Marshals for the 2025 Chicago Pride Parade. Both honorees were selected through an online nomination process, reflecting their profound impact on healthcare, advocacy, and the LGBTQ+ community.
