Georgia Equality is proud to announce our honorees for Evening for Equality! Leading up the the event on June 27, we will be highlighting each honoree and celebrating their invaluable contributions to Georgia's LGBTQ+ community.

Next up is Dr. David Reznik receiving the Champion for Equality Award. In 1991, Dr. Reznik founded the Oral Health Center of GradyHealth's Infectious Disease Program with the mission of providing high-quality dental care to people living with HIV. Dr. Reznik since founded the HIV Dental Alliance, a nonprofit organization for oral health providers with the same mission.

Dr. Reznik has been nationally recognized for his trailblazing work on HIV, oral health and access to care, even setting up oral health programs throughout the U.S. for Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program grantees. As Dr. Reznik now prepares to retire, we are proud to honor his incredible legacy with the Champion for Equality Award.
