Welcome to 2025 – A Year of Possibilities and Progress!
By Office of the President | Jan 14, 2025
Dear Downstate Community,
As we enter 2025, we embrace a year filled with fresh opportunities and the promise of transformative impact. This new chapter allows us to celebrate our successes and set our sights on the extraordinary milestones ahead. At Downstate, your dedication to education, clinical care, research, and service continues to shape us as a vital force in our community and beyond. You are the heart of our mission, and your contributions lay the foundation for everything we achieve.
This year brings an evolving healthcare landscape where policy, funding, and access changes will have far-reaching implications. Our role as educators, clinicians, and advocates is more critical than ever. By preparing future healthcare leaders to tackle these challenges with skill, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to equity, we ensure our graduates are not just practitioners but innovators shaping the future of healthcare.
Our clinical mission, guided by the principle of keeping care close—#KeepCareClose—remains central to our work. It is more than a commitment; it is a promise to Central Brooklyn that University Hospital at Downstate (UHD) will continue addressing systemic health disparities with culturally competent, accessible care.
In 2025, we renew our focus on ensuring high-quality healthcare for underserved populations, breaking down barriers of distance and disparity. Our efforts are building a healthier, more equitable future for all and strengthening the connection between Downstate and the communities we serve.
Thank you for your passion, resilience, and unwavering dedication. Together, we will achieve incredible things this year, driving meaningful change and unlocking the endless possibilities that 2025 holds.
With gratitude and warm wishes for a remarkable year ahead!
