A Message for Our Community |
In this week’s GUMC Update, we celebrate civic duty, action and process that is the hallmark of our democracy. Your voice matters at our workplace, at the local municipal level and most especially in determining who holds the highest office in our land. We are acutely aware that decisions made by those in power deeply impact how we do our science, care for our patients, make policy and develop the next generation of professionals to focus on science and health. Thank you for making your voice heard and for your work to ensure Georgetown remains engaged at so many important points in our society.
-Edward B. Healton, Executive Vice President of Health Sciences
