This November, I am reflecting on gratitude. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve Heersink School of Medicine in a leadership capacity. The work we do here every day is vitally important for our patients, their families, and our communities.

More than 40,000 women die annually from breast cancer. However, annual mammography can reduce this risk. Together, the UAB Departments of Radiology and Obstetrics and Gynecology (OB/GYN) are encouraging women to prioritize their breast health and awareness.

A few weeks ago, I was presented with the annual UAB Medicine Pulse Survey results.

Primary care is about more than just managing and maintaining physical health. The Pediatric Primary Care Clinic is providing mental health and additional services to treat the whole patient and improve outcomes.

This month, I step into the interim dean role and look forward to leading in this capacity.

Mona Fouad, M.D., senior associate dean of Diversity and Inclusion, joined UAB's Office for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion as associate vice president on July 1. She will maintain her role as senior associate dean while also serving as the associate vice president.
