2019 PEARL BIRNBAUM HURWITZ HUMANISM IN HEALTHCARE AWARD
|
|
The Gold Foundation & Dr. Ron Arky invite you to the
2019 Pearl Birnbaum Hurwitz Reception
in Boston on Wednesday, Nov. 20, to honor this year's awardee,
Dr. Nancy Oriol.
A renowned anesthesiologist, innovator, Harvard educator, and pioneer in mobile medicine, Dr. Oriol is being recognized for her deep commitment to providing high-quality health care to patients who are under served and marginalized. Her creation of The Family Van, a mobile clinic that could deliver care to under served communities, eased such barriers as cost, transportation, stigma, and fear, and also educated trainees about culturally competent care and healthcare disparities.
Your RSVP
is appreciated. We hope to see you there!
Wednesday | Nov. 20, 2019 | 5:00 P.M.
Location: The Joseph B. Martin Conference Center at Harvard Medical School – Elements Café, 77 Avenue Louis Pasteur, Boston, MA 02115

GOLD PARTNERS COUNCIL
New video shares the transformative impact of Mindful Practice Workshops on their participants
|
|
Mindful Practice “allows me to embrace human vulnerability in a way that feels very courageous, so I see it now as more of a strength as opposed to something that I need to protect myself from ... [Mindful Practice] enables me to engage in a different way, a way that’s clearer ... Mindful Practice actually helped me to be a better physician.”
– Joanna McDermid, MD Consulting Psychiatrist,
BC Children’s Hospital- Vancouver, Canada

Mindful Practice
“
creates this camaraderie and friendship and community, which is so supportive and sustaining”
– Andrew Czuchwicki, MD,
Queen Elizabeth Hospital,
Adelaide, Australia

Research Roundup is on a break this month, as we are in full Gold Humanism Summit swing! You don't need to miss out on your research, fix, though. Have you checked out our online databases recently? We stockpile studies that back up the benefits of humanism, organized by Quadruple Aim, and also catalog resources that help you implement humanism in practical ways. Dive into these two Gold databases and bookmark them for later:

New blue pin for our Gold Foundation supporters
|
|
New pins have arrived! The Gold Foundation distributes white pins to medical students and red pins to nursing students to mark their passage during White Coat Ceremonies. The loop symbolizes the bond between a clinician and a patient, the human connection at the core of the best healthcare. We also have a special pin for Gold Humanism Honor Society members. And now... this edition! This blue pin is designed for our supporters, ambassadors and advocates of humanism. We will be giving them out at the Gold Humanism Summit at the
2019 Planetree International Conference on Person-Centered
in Orlando! We are also happy to send you one to mark your support of the Gold Foundation. Reach out to Nadia Rahman at
nrahman@gold-foundation.org
