Solidarity Week
for Compassionate Patient
Care will take place February 10-14, 2020.
The participation from our chapters during
2019 Solidarity Week for Compassionate Patient Care
was beyond inspiring. Chapters held panel discussions on topics such as gentrification in West Philadelphia, Immigrant Health, and how to better care for veterans. GHHS members baked, cooked, crafted, and put together gift baskets for patients and their families, and most importantly spent hours harnessing a deep human connection with them. We are grateful to all of our members for the ongoing humanistic impact that they are having in their communities.

In case you missed it – the Gold Foundation held its inaugural
Gold Humanism Summit
at the Planetree International Conference on Patient-Centered Care in Orlando, Florida, October 27-30, 2019, and what an incredible convening it turned out to be!
Our communities gathered together to share research and present on the impact of humanism in healthcare, both in education/training and in all the places where care is delivered.

As 2019 comes to a close, we reflect on the memorable events, as well as our relationships with so many inspiring institutions and individuals that have helped keep us tethered to our mission to keep healthcare human.

Make an end of year contribution today to support
our dynamic programs, such as the:
Our
Gold Student Summer Fellowship
program offers opportunities for medical students to complete a research or service project related to community health. Projects are focused on understanding and/or enhancing culturally competent practice, developing skills to become a relationship-centered physician, and addressing a public health need in an under-served community or population.
2019 was a remarkable year and we couldn't have done it without our donors.
Here are just a few examples of how our donors have helped in 2019:
- For the first time, the Gold Foundation created an international gathering of physicians, nurses, CEOs, deans, vice presidents, students, researchers and many others at the inaugural Gold Humanism Summit.
- More than 50,000 medical and nursing students marked their start of training with an oath to compassionate patient care in 400 White Coat Ceremonies worldwide.
With all of these ambassadors, we are building a movement, and as 2019 draws to a close, we need your help!
