The future of Mass General Brigham at MGH is going up today, the Ragon building (on Cambridge Street in Boston’s West End). Once the project is completed, there will even be a space for the MBTA Blue Line (if it ever gets built!).

Four years ago, I helped link my mother’s renal transplant program (she is the social worker) at Montefiore Health System with Mass General Transplant to discuss improving Hispanic/Latino referral patterns in Boston. One of my proudest moments as a son!

Phenomenal, @ACG! #ACG2024! Diversity means so many things, including helping young parents (particularly mothers/those primarily reading children) attend and not miss out on early career networking opportunities!

We need the NIH to emphasize to the US federal government the importance of preserving the integrity of the NIDDK. The American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) is leading the charge to protect tomorrow’s gut health innovations by preserving gut health research funding today.

Thank you ACG for taking UnitedHealthcare to task for yet another move by this for-profit entity to increase their income by getting in between the patient and their physician. How much money is enough for your c-suite?

Such important work, Sophie Balzora, MD, FACG. Achieving equity cannot fall solely on underrepresented-in-medicine faculty, trainees, and students. And, if a greater role is asked of us, it should come with some protection of FTE as this benefits institutions as well as patients.

I cannot recommend these @ACG #ACGInstitute leadership programs more highly. Having done 2 of them (and returning back as faculty for the Early Career program), the skills I have learned and the connections I have made are invaluable. Consider applying!
