Sliding into September
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and Sickle Cell Awareness Month. Kudos to all who participate in the wonderful work on behalf of all the kids we serve. This is also the month we say a fond farewell to BCH President, Matt Cook, as he moves on to be the CEO of the Children's Hospital Association. We are so thankful for, Joan Zoltanski, as she moves into double duty as Chief Medical Officer and Interim President of UCSF Benioff Children's Hospitals. This is also the month to get your influenza vaccine and your updated COVID booster at a site near you! Stay tuned to email announcements in this regard.

Release of the UCSF Changemaker Series | |

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.

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/.
