A Message from GUMC Executive Vice President Edward B. Healton, MD, MPH |
|
This past week, yet again, we experienced more deeply troubling developments related to racial injustices in our nation. I wish to reiterate Georgetown University Medical Center’s commitment to an inclusive environment that identifies and eliminates acts of racism in any form, and to a culture of mutual respect and support for every member of our community. In this issue of GUMC Update, you will find a video in which I join medical students and faculty – voices for change – in acknowledging the path ahead towards racial equity. On Tuesday, I will speak to the University’s Faculty Senate and share with them the many facets of work underway across our entire campus. I wish to thank our faculty, staff and students as we pursue sustainable changes at medical center in the spirit of cura personalis.
