Happy New Year!
2023 is Here and Hope is on the Horizon
Hope.
Here is a great article from the NEJM with the “Notable Articles of 2022” that features cutting-edge therapies for Sickle Cell Disease and Beta-thalassemia the work of Mark Walters and his team.
2022 closed at the height of the triple-demic. I want to thank all who rallied around to accommodate our respiratory patients. With the new year comes waning numbers for RSV, influenza, and COVID. As of this writing, we are back to regular scheduling of procedures and planned admissions.
As a reminder to all faculty, please upload your COVID bivalent booster to the Occupational Health Portal in compliance with our February 1, 2023, deadline. Non-faculty medical staff should submit to both Employee Health (EH-dept@ucsf.edu) and the Medical Staff Office (medical.staff-oakland@ucsf.edu)
Thanks for your tremendous accomplishments and for just holding it all together for the last year. As my Welsh aunt used to say: "Let’s see this thing through!"
Be well,
Kelley

The UCSF Changemaker Series, created by Professor of Medicine Hilary Seligman, MD, MAS, is a four-part video series that seeks to build the capacity of UCSF researchers to generate scientific evidence that is responsive to the needs of real-world decision-makers. Each 10-15 minute video highlights a UCSF researcher in conversation with an interdisciplinary panel of non-academic experts discussing how investigators at all stages of their careers can more meaningfully inform policies, systems, and structures in order to create social or policy change.

Professor of Psychiatry and Pediatrics, UCSF School of Medicine

The focus of the BCH Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Initiative is to dismantle systemic racism within BCH by taking action to insure that policies, institutional practices, cultural representations and other norms no longer reinforce and perpetuate racial group inequity for Blacks, Indigenous and People of Color. Patients and families and other groups in the workforce, including LGBTQ+ are negatively impacted within the current problematic climate. For more information, please feel free to reach out to me, our program manager Henry Ocampo at henry.ocampo@ucsf.edu, or visit our website https://diversitybch.ucsf.edu/.
