Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH), a founding member of Mass General Brigham and a teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School, provides compassionate, high-quality care in virtually every medical and surgical specialty to patients locally, regionally, nationally and around the world. Every day, our clinicians, researchers, and caregivers work to find new ways to predict, prevent, and treat the most challenging diseases of our time while delivering world-class care with a profoundly human touch. Our Brigham 10K Teammates are proud to fuel quality patient care, innovative training, and life-changing discoveries that will benefit patients here in Boston and around the world, all in support of an area that is meaningful to them.

We are excited to share that our team will be running in support of the Center for Community Health and Health Equity (CCHHE). Dedicated to building a healthier future for MGB communities, CCHHE supports research and programs for community-identified health needs such as mental and behavioral health, food and nutrition security, housing, and economic stability and mobility. Through this work, CCHHE aims to improve health outcomes and help eliminate inequities across the communities MGB serves. 

As a team of Clinical Research Coordinators (CRCs), nurses, and exercise physiologists, we experience firsthand the powerful impact of research and community-driven programs. We are running to raise awareness about the critical need for continued support in this area of clinical research, as well as in programs that address health care inequities and improve care for all communities served by Mass General Brigham.

Thank you for supporting me, and by extension, this extraordinary group of runners. Any contributions you are willing to make are greatly appreciated!!
