May 6 – The Commonwealth Fund Fellowship in Health Policy Leadership at Harvard Medical School held its Annual Dinner Meeting, bringing Fellows together from across the nation for an evening of reconnecting, sharing, and fellowship. Each person in this photo carries a story of quiet heroism. We may refer to ourselves as physicians, oral physicians, dentists, & psychologists. But we are leaders- reshaping health systems from the top, holding high-level executive roles where we ensure the health outcomes of millions nationwide. Reede Scholars and Commonwealth Fund Fellows worldwide are on the front lines of communities that have been left behind. As entrepreneurs, we are building businesses that fill gaps where the system falls short. We are the leaders who refuse to accept that your zip code should determine how long you live. The Reede Scholars, Inc. — advancing health equity at every level of power, policy, and practice. Gratitude to Joan Reede and Joe Betancourt.
