Seeking to reduce health disparities in Washington by leveraging the critical inquiry methods at the heart of the humanities, the Georgetown-Howard Center for Medical Humanities and Health Justice launched in 2023 with a 3.5-year, $3 million grant from the Mellon Foundation.

For the first time since the pandemic, medical students had the chance to breathe in some fresh mountain air, go hiking, laugh around a bonfire and sleep in cabins on a weekend retreat at Georgetown’s Calcagnini Contemplative Center in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia to build deeper relationships with one another.

The ISPY2 breast cancer clinical trial, a unique phase 2 study that offers a broad range of treatment options for patients with locally advanced breast cancer, is enrolling people through Georgetown’s Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center, a part of the MedStar Georgetown Cancer Institute. The trial is offered at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital and MedStar Washington Hospital Center.
