Key Themes of the Partnership

Transform Health

Transforming as the partnership is more than just the additive parts of Georgetown University and MedStar Health      it is the unique combination that will allow us to make a “thorough and dramatic change in health” through our joint efforts.

Advance Equity

Our efforts address broad health issues impacting all, combined with a focused effort to reduce health disparities and advance equity through our applied research, education of the next generation of healthcare practitioners, and influence on how care is delivered.

Research Innovation

We have the capacity to create novel and innovative ways to expand research, applying knowledge in real-world settings to improve the health of those living within the region and scalable beyond.

Education Expertise

As teachers and trainers of the next generation of practitioners, we have an obligation to attract and retain the best and brightest, to stimulate new thinking, to build a community that embraces inquisitive inquiry, and to pressure test long-held assumptions about the best way to educate students.

Compassionate Care

Our shared values are embodied in how we deliver care to our patients and make evidence-based improvements reflective of cura personalis – care of the whole person – mind, body and spirit, which are equally important in the health of an individual.

Community Collaboration

We share capabilities across unique collaborations regionally, nationally, and internationally to enable all to experience better health, health care and healthy communities.
