Welcome to my blog. This is where I will share items of interest, celebration, or concern with the UConn Health Center community. I have no set schedule for updates; I’ll post new items as they come up, but hopefully a few times each month if not more frequently.

Let me hear from you!
Health Center faculty, staff and students are encouraged to respond with questions, comments, and suggestions. I may use your communication as the topic of a future posting.

2009 Medical Staff Meeting

I addressed the faculty at the annual Medical Staff Meeting on Wednesday, November 18. Here is a copy of the presentation (PDF).

Health Center Faculty Vote to Unionize

The vote from the faculty is in -- and the time to work together is now. At this point, it is critically important that all of us, regardless of how you voted this week, stay involved and engaged in the process. It is the community of ideas that we have that makes us great, and in the coming weeks you will have a unique opportunity to help shape the union.

I’m grateful to all for a respectful and thoughtful campaign. Let’s commit to work together for the common good for our institution so we can continue to move our institution toward top tier status, toward being a destination place for healthcare, and toward being a place that is an engine for growth and prosperity not just for ourselves, but for our region and our state.

Let's proceed. Thanks.
