HH: I was an English major, but I knew that I wanted to go to medical school. So I combined my concentration in English with taking the prerequisites at college for my candidacy for medical school. Because the war was on and it was really not possible to continue without abbreviating considerably my college experience, I left without a Harvard degree, that is, a bachelor’s degree. Having applied to medical school and been accepted at medical school, at Harvard Medical School, on the basis of really 1 two and a half years of college. I didn’t have a bachelor’s degree. I have an M.D., I have some honorary PhDs. (phone ringing), but a short time ago I -- excuse me.

March 23, 2009 President Barack Obama President Dmitri Medvedev
March 23, 2009 President Barack Obama President Dmitri Medvedev The White House Ilinka Str, No 23 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW 103132, Moscow Washington, DC 20500 Russia Dear Presidents Obama and Medvedev: For more than 60 years the threat of nuclear annihilation has hung over humanity. We write to you now with great hope that you will seize the opportunity created by your recent elections to address definitively this gravest threat to human survival. The United States and Russia continue to possess enormous arsenals of nuclear weapons originally built to fight the Cold War. If these instruments of mass extermination ever had a purpose, that purpose ended 20 years ago. Yet the US and Russia still have more than 20,000 nuclear warheads. Most dangerously more than 2,300 of them are maintained on ready alert status, mounted on missiles that can be launched in a matter of minutes, destroying cities in each other’s countries a half hour later. A study published in 2002 showed that if only 300 of the weapons in the Russian arsenal attacked targets in American cities, 90 million people would die in the first half hour. A comparable US attack on Russia would produce similar devastation. Furthermore, these attacks would destroy the entire economic, communications, and transportation infrastructure on which the rest of the population depend for survival. In the ensuing months the vast majority of people who survived the initial attacks in both of your countries would die of disease, exposure, and starvation. But the destruction of Russia and the United States is only part of the story. -

Check-Up on DE&I
Mass General Brigham Check-up on DE&I Check-up on DE&I Dedication “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’”― Fred Rogers This Check-up on DE&I Report is dedicated to our colleagues, “The Helpers,” who have been battling the COVID-19 pandemic this year. Their selflessness and spirit of collaboration provide steady guidance in this unprecedented time. During this pandemic, we have seen the power of Mass General Brigham as we function as an integrated system. We are thankful for our colleagues’ bravery and leadership as they combat the spread of COVID-19 in our communities and neighborhoods. Our hospital colleagues have risen above fear, xenophobia, and personal safety concerns to provide care, comfort, and aid to the patients and families we serve. Even with uncertainties about the future impact of the virus, our colleagues have remained hopeful and proactive while combatting this pandemic. We have all witnessed countless acts of kindness and generosity from so many helpers in our system. That compassion and care also extend beyond the walls of our institutions. Mass General Brigham has also provided clinical guidance and public health assistance across the Commonwealth, New England, the nation and around the globe. As COVID-19 has impacted our communities, the need to support disenfranchised and marginalized patients is critical. Health equity is more important than ever. As a system, we can collectively be helpers. We can assist and influence structures, policies, and procedures that can counter health disparities long after we have defeated COVID-19. -
