As I begin this new role I will be listening and learning from all of you. Emory is fortunate to have talented people that have a profound and palpable impact locally and globally. You may be aware that like many healthcare systems across the country, Emory Healthcare is facing significant financial challenges. I anticipate some turbulent waters ahead, but fundamental strengths of Emory and our people make me confident that we will emerge stronger.
Thank you again to Vikas Sukhatme, to our leaders across Woodruff Health Sciences and the School of Medicine, and to all of you for your service to our patients, our students and our broader community.
Sincerely,
Carlos
