Celebrating the Champions of Change in Healthcare

Welcome back, dear colleague!

As we reflect on the past year, one word stands out: collaboration.

Why it matters: At every step, incredible organizations and individuals have joined forces with us to make impactful training courses and projects accessible, addressing the toughest challenges in healthcare.

• These partnerships have been crucial in tackling critical issues like vaccine advocacy, climate change, and health equity.

• Each partnership has brought expertise, energy, and courage, making 2024 a year of real impact.

We would like to dedicate this edition to our partners and all of the inspiring people who’ve made our journey so impactful. We show what it really means to be a part of a community and work together to make the world a better place.  

Here are some of the incredible partners whose collaboration made this year unforgettable:

• Sabin Vaccine Institute: Advancing vaccine equity and education.

• Vot-ER: Empowering clinicians to promote civic engagement.

• Commonwealth Fund: Driving innovation in healthcare equity.

• BU: Providing academic leadership and collaboration to advance evidence-based initiatives.

• OBH: Providing high-quality, comprehensive healthcare to the communities it serves.

• WE in the World: Combating systemic injustice and promoting health equity.

• IHI/AMA – Rise to Health Coalition: Advancing healthcare equity and empowering organizations. 

• Lancet/Urban Institute: Researching and shaping the path toward health equity in cities.

• CHEEA (Center for Health Equity and Advocacy): Equipping healthcare professionals to be change agents in our healthcare system and society.

• Medical Society Consortium on Health:  Placing health and equity at the core of how we understand, discuss, and address climate change.

Because of these partnerships, we’ve been able to expand our reach, enhance our programs, and inspire a growing network of clinicians to act with courage and purpose.

As we celebrate these accomplishments, we’re reminded of the power of collective action. When organizations and individuals come together with a shared vision, the impact is transformative—not just for healthcare, but for society as a whole.

The big picture: This celebration isn’t just about the past; it’s also about looking forward. We’re excited to continue working with these incredible organizations—and hopefully with many more of you—to build on this momentum in the coming year.

What’s next: If you have ideas for how we can partner to drive meaningful change in healthcare, we’d love to hear from you.

• Let's continue to make a difference together and expand our network of clinicians to act with courage and purpose.

• Here’s to the courage we’ve seen, the projects we’ve created, and the impact we’ve made—together.

Happy Holidays! As we celebrate the holiday season, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to each of you for making this year extraordinary.

Until next time,
