Mitchell, MS, CRNA, director of clinical education, co-authored "A Literature Review Examining the Effectiveness of At-Home Physical Activity on Controlling the Blood Pressure of African American Men in Baltimore, Maryland" in the fall 2020 issue of Spectrum: A Journal on Black Men (Indiana University Press).
