Message From David Posch: A Tribute to Inspiring Women

Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) has just celebrated March as Women’s History Month. Though this month gave us a special opportunity to recognize the contributions of women to the success of VUMC, the Office of Population Health is proud to salute these inspiring women throughout the year. You may be interested to know that our department is 75% women, demonstrating our leadership in hiring and elevating women throughout our organization.

If you missed yesterday’s panel discussion, "Women’s Leadership in the COVID-19 Era: How Women Responded and Led the Charge to Mitigate the Pandemic," don’t miss the link to the recording on the Pop Health "All Hands" Teams channel. Panelists, including some of our own, were Laura Beth Brown, RN, MSN, Senior Vice President, Vanderbilt Health Services; Elisa Friedman, MS, Assistant Vice President, Community and Population Health Improvement; Aimalohi Ahonkhai, MD, MPH, Assistant Professor of Medicine, Division of Infectious Diseases; Lori Rolando, MD, MPH, FACOEM, Assistant Professor of Clinical Medicine; and Pam Jones, DNP, RN, NEA-BC, FAAN, Senior Associate Dean for Clinical and Community Partnerships. Megan Hart, MEd, Director of Tennessee Disability Pathfinder, Vanderbilt Kennedy Center, moderated the event.
