Dear Community,
As we celebrate Women’s History Month in March and International Women’s Day next week, we join you in recognizing the tremendous impact of women throughout history, including on our mission at Stanford Medicine.
From Dr. Clelia Duel Mosher, who conducted pioneering research on women’s health at Stanford in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, to Dr. Carolyn Bertozzi, who was recently awarded a Nobel Prize for her role in founding a new field of chemistry, women at Stanford Medicine have a long legacy of shaping our world and continue advancing research, education, and patient care every day.
This year, we are proud to share with you numerous stories spotlighting women at Stanford Medicine, whose activism, advocacy, and barrier-breaking work — personally and professionally — exemplify what makes this community so exceptional. We are inspired by their efforts to foster a more inclusive environment in medicine, eliminate health inequities, and improve women’s health locally and globally. Today, we reaffirm our commitment to these shared goals.
We want to thank all the women of Stanford Medicine for your dedication and many invaluable contributions to the community and our society at large. You set a shining example for the next generation of leaders aspiring to take science, education, and patient care to new heights.
Sincerely,
Joyce Sackey, MD
