In a letter to the Penn Medicine community, Perelman School of Medicine Dean J. Larry Jameson, Penn Medicine CEO Kevin B. Mahoney, and other leaders reinforced our institution’s values in the pursuit of justice, inclusion and equity, both in health care and in the broader society: “As health care providers, scientists, and educators, we are in a position to lead. We have profound obligations to support diversity and inclusion within our communities — to our patients, to our students and trainees, and importantly, to one another. In our words and through our actions, we have power to make a difference in the fight to ensure that hatred, bigotry, discrimination, and racism have no corner in our community. We understand the importance of social determinants as they relate to health, education, and wealth. We continue to strive to fully understand the unfortunate role of racism and biases in health care disparities, ostensibly immovable barriers to achieving equity in health. At Penn Medicine, our code of professionalism, our commitment to inclusion, and our focus on optimal health for everyone, underpins our values and actions. … We stand together in this crucial work, and send our most heartfelt support and thoughts to those who are hurting today.” Read more of their letter: bit.ly/3dw9DBc [also linked in bio]
