Director Leadership Profile Atlanta, Georgia Director Leadership Profile CONFIDENTIAL January 2017 This Leadership Profile is intended to provide information about Morehouse School of Medicine and the position of Director of the Satcher Health Leadership Institute. It is designed to assist qualified individuals in assessing their interest. Opportunity and Summary of Position Morehouse School of Medicine invites nominations, inquiries and applications for The Satcher Health Leadership Institute’s (SHLI) next Director. The Institute was founded in 2006 by the 16th US Surgeon General, Dr. David Satcher, who set it firmly on its course to be a leading transformative force for global health equity. A visionary leader is sought who will embody the Institute’s values and seek to make a lasting contribution to reducing and ultimately eliminating disparities in health. The Director will also be an endowed Georgia Research Alliance Eminent Scholar. Guided by the values and principles of diversity, integrity, trustworthiness, consensus-building, prevention as a priority, and equal access to quality healthcare for all persons, SHLI has established multi-disciplinary research, innovative community-based programs, and strategies for informing health policy solutions through its four divisions: Division of Behavioral Health, Community Voices: healthcare for the Underserved, Center of Excellence for Sexual Health, and Division of Health Policy. The Institute also houses two major centers, the Transdisciplinary Collaborative Center, and the newly formed Kennedy Center for Mental Health Policy & Research. The Institute currently consists of over 30 faculty staff, and is awarded nearly $7 million in grants and contracts annually. SHLI is unique because of three core concepts that are not central to other health leadership institutes. Specifically, SHLI prioritizes approaches to contribute to the elimination of health disparities by encouraging leadership among underrepresented minorities; works to develop replicable standards and strategies in health leadership; and promotes and fosters a diverse and inclusive health leadership network. The Institute is supported by a myriad of partners and collaborators which help to bolster our sustainability and success. The Director will come at a pivotal point in SHLI’s evolution. The Director will help build the endowment for the institute, broaden its research and programs, work towards a global health equity agenda, and help in the formation of a new school of community population health and health policy at Morehouse School of Medicine. Morehouse School of Medicine is among the nation’s leading educators of primary care physicians and was recently recognized as the top institution among U.S. medical schools for its social mission. Faculty and alumni are noted in their fields for excellence in teaching, research and public policy. The ideal candidate will be a preeminent scholar, clinician and/or practitioner in population health with a long track record of advancing health equity. Those with a broad background which has covered academia, health policy and practice, along with a commitment to community engagement will be highly sought by the search committee. Candidates must be able to represent SHLI on an international stage, and advance the institute’s mission and work through extramural funding and philanthropic support. A terminal degree is required as is substantial leadership experience in a comparably complex environment. 1 The Satcher Health Leadership Institute The Satcher Health Leadership Institute (SHLI) was established in 2006 by David Satcher, MD, PhD – Physician, researcher, thought leader, and pioneer in public health. Its vision is to be a leading transformative force for global health equity. SHLI consists of 30 faculty and staff. The Institute has received nearly $7 million in extramural grants and contracts for the current fiscal year, and has a growing endowment of over $12 million. Funded grants come from a variety of funders, including federal, local and private foundation support. The institute’s mission is to develop a diverse group of exceptional health leaders, advance and support comprehensive health system strategies, and actively promote policies and practices that will reduce and ultimately eliminate disparities in health. Guided by the values and principles of diversity, integrity, trustworthiness, consensus- building, prevention as a priority, and equal access to quality healthcare for all persons; SHLI has established multi-disciplinary research, innovative community based programs, and strategies for informing health policy solutions. SHLI is unique because of three core concepts that are not central to other health leadership institutes. Specifically, SHLI prioritizes approaches to contribute to the elimination of health disparities by encouraging leadership among underrepresented minorities; works to develop replicable standards and strategies in health leadership; and promotes and fosters a diverse and inclusive health leadership network. The Institute is supported by a myriad of partners and collaborators which help to bolster our sustainability and success. Divisions and Centers SHLI consists of four divisions with multi-disciplinary faculty and staff, and houses two major centers aimed at promoting health equity: Division of Behavioral Health: The division’s mission is to reduce and ultimately eliminate disparities in behavioral health, including mental health, substance abuse and developmental disabilities. The division trains and develops existing and emerging leaders, empowers and supports community leadership, and implements innovative programs that inform meaningful and effective policies and practices in behavioral health. The Division is SHLI’s largest, and has many signature programs including the Integration of Behavioral Health and Primary Care program, a private and public partnership that has tested both new and existing integrated/collaborative care models in community mental health and primary care centers in Georgia; and the federally-funded Smart and Secure Children program which is a unique parent leadership model to reduce and eliminate health inequities in early childhood. Community Voices: Healthcare for the Underserved: Established in 1998, Community Voices: Healthcare for the Underserved is a dynamic advocate for change in pursuit of one simple goal – a healthier America. While programs and activities are diverse, the core focus remains sharp: build stronger communities by strengthening the health of families. The organization’s mission is to listen to voices in the community that often go unheard and take an active leadership role in improving health for all. It has three major functions: 1) educate by teaching best practices for health care in underserved communities and inform national leaders on the impact of access to care, 2) advocate by fighting through word and deed to improve economic and cultural 2 conditions that are part of the social determinants of health and 3) elevate by lifting families, communities and the nation through better health and health care. Community Voices works to facilitate care, plans and conducts research, seeks funding, provides technical assistance and secures commitments for progress. Center of Excellence for Sexual Health: The first Center of Excellence for Sexual Health in the United States CESH seeks to strengthen public health through promotion of national public discussion of sexual health issues, provide forums and assistance to leaders of divergent viewpoints in building agreements on controversial issues of public health policy regarding sexual health, and provide education to improve the sexual health of the American people. The mission of the Center of Excellence for Sexual Health (CESH) is to raise the level of national dialogue on human sexuality, sexual health, and well-being in a sustained, informed, honest, mature, and respectful way and to link that dialogue to actions that reflect scientific evidence and deeply held beliefs. Division of Health Policy: the Division provides leadership and prepares leaders committed to promoting policies and practices that reduce disparities and advance health equity. The Division’s work is multidisciplinary, acknowledging that achieving health equity requires a health-in-all-policies approach that collaborates across sectors and disciplines. Work is focused on: Developing, training, and engaging emerging and established leaders and students in the promotion, development, and implementation of policies and practices that reduce disparities and advance health equity; Engaging communities, organizations, and leaders across all sectors to advance policies to improve the conditions for optimal health and health equity; Conducting and collaborating on research that informs best practices, models, and policies that reduce disparities and advance health equity; and Informing and influencing policy and resource allocation to promote health equity through testimonies, publications, and active communication of relevant and timely information to decision makers, professional organizations, and the public. Kennedy Center for Mental Health Research & Policy: With support and partnership of The Kennedy Forum, The Kennedy Center for Mental Health Policy & Research is newly formed and will focus on behavioral/mental health research, policy tracking and analysis, and thought leadership. The center will serve as a national resource for convening key stakeholders regarding policy-relevant behavioral/mental

  • Dr. Valerie Montgomery Rice Investiture Address Morehouse School of Medicine
    Office of the President and Dean Dr. Valerie Montgomery Rice Investiture Address Morehouse School of Medicine September 11, 2014 Martin Luther King, Jr. Chapel Morehouse College Atlanta, Georgia I am humbled by the trust and confidence of the Morehouse School of Medicine Board of Trustees for this honor. Thank you. I appreciate the opportunity today to stand under the shade of a tree that I did not plant. This honored and sacred ground was nurtured and cultivated by many who came before me. Those like former Morehouse School of Medicine presidents Louis W. Sullivan, James A. Goodman, James Gavin III, David Satcher and John Maupin who nourished this medical meadowland. I am grateful for their contributions to the School of Medicine and their legacy of fervent leadership. To my teachers, Ms. Neubold, Faircloth, Ella Mae Cater and Mr. Charles Cook, just to name a few who brought science alive in the classroom and taught me to love the role it could play in my life and the lives of others. It was their early introduction to the wonder of science and discovery that engaged and intrigued me as a student. To my mother whose sage advice to me as a young physician was to value my patients and to make sure that my counsel always considers what is in their best interests, first. To my family and friends who are here today, I want to thank you for your encouragement, wisdom and unwavering support. In particular, my three sisters, Marsha, Sandra, and Priscilla and their families; my sister-in-law, Brenda and her family; my supportive husband, Melvin Jr., and my two wonderful children, Jayne and Melvin III; and yes happy birthday, Melvin III, thank you for sharing your birthday today with me.

  • 14 the Critical Role of Historically Black Colleges and Universities in Workforce Development
    14 The Critical Role of Historically Black Colleges and Universities in Workforce Development Todd Greene Ashley Bozarth Civil rights leader and distinguished American educator Benjamin Elijah Mays stated, “For he who starts behind in the great race of life must forever remain behind or run faster than the man in front” (Colston 2002, p. 96).1 Despite the passage of more than 150 years since the end of formal slavery, African Americans are still behind based on nearly all economic measures, including wealth and economic mobility. It should come as no surprise then that African Americans fare no better in the labor market, where wages lag behind their white coun- terparts. While the roots and causes of these gaps are myriad, it is clear, as Dr. Mays suggests, that extraordinary measures and targeted approaches are needed to arrive at greater economic equality. There has been some progress, including higher rates of high school degree completion, but much work remains.2 Historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) play a major role in preparing this population for the workforce. In addition to both academic- and technical-oriented degree offerings, confidence-building support offered through HBCU environments also can offer graduates a fundamental cornerstone for workforce success.3 The origins of today’s more than 100 HBCUs vary. Some started as state-sponsored land grant institutions, others were sponsored by reli- gious organizations, and still others were the benefactors of wealthy philanthropists. Their missions, however, have been essentially uni- form: to provide higher education opportunities primarily to students of color who at that time were largely excluded from other colleges or universities or in some cases did not feel comfortable in these institu- 189 190 Greene and Bozarth tions.4 With legal and cultural changes, especially over the past five decades, some observers have questioned the necessity for institutions designed to serve a particular racial population, thus viewing HBCUs as anachronisms.

    33rd Annual Dr. Curtis L. Parker Student Research Symposium Wednesday, Feb. 10 2021 Curtis L. Parker Student Research Symposium Curtis L. Parker, Ph.D. 1942-1998 Curtis L. Parker was chairperson of the Department of Anatomy from 1989 until his death in 1998. Dr. Parker served as Associate Dean for Basic Science and Research from 1992 to 1996, and acting Dean from July 1995 to December 1995. He was chairperson of the Student Academic Progress and Promotion Committee and served as chairperson or a member of virtually every major committee at Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM). Dr. Parker joined our institution in 1983 as Associate Professor of Anatomy and rose to the rank of Professor in 1985. Prior to coming to MSM, he was an Associate Professor at (Clark) Atlanta University from 1981 to 1983 and an Assistant Professor at Bowman Gray School of Medicine from 1975 to 1980. Dr. Parker was an outstanding biomedical research scientist and a primary facilitator in providing opportunities for aspiring research students to interact with scientists of national and international acclaim. His untiring efforts made it possible for some ninety medical students to participate in the Fellows Program at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. This program was the catalyst for a Student Research Day Symposium at MSM. The MSM-based Symposium was designed to provide a venue for MSM trainees from all programs, and trainees from other institutions from across the State of Georgia, to present their research findings and experiences. On November 6, 1998, Dean E. Nigel Harris proclaimed Student Research Day at Morehouse School of Medicine as the Curtis L.
