MedStar Health-Georgetown University Partnership

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Since 1851, Georgetown University School of Medicine has been instructing the world’s future doctors with a commitment to education intrinsic to our values and Jesuit tradition.

The School of Nursing at Georgetown University builds on a 120-year tradition of excellence in nursing education at the professional, advanced practice, and doctoral levels. Our on-campus and distance-based, online nursing programs emphasize research and scholarship, are grounded in a social justice framework, and are committed to equity, diversity and inclusion. Our commitment to nursing is infused with the Jesuit values of caring for the whole person — cura personalis — and serving the common good.
