#7DaysofHumanism: Moving stories and a challenge from @gradydoctor (aka, Board Trustee Dr. Kimberly Manning) |
|
|
|
Dr. Kimberly Manning, new Gold Foundation Board member and Emory Professor, launched a #7DaysofHumanism series on her Twitter account, @gradydoctor, shortly after joining the Board of Trustees. Each day, she posted a moving story of human connection in healthcare in a series of tweets, tagged #7DaysofHumanism and #HumanismAlways. "Humanism" is a common term for the Gold Foundation, but not widely used, and Dr. Manning's new hashtags are helping amplify the Gold language. Thank you, Dr. Manning!
