ForHealth Consulting at UMass Chan Medical School

November is Native American Heritage Month when we honor the history, culture, and achievements of the Indigenous people of the United States and their descendants. UMass Chan Medical School acknowledges that its campus is located on lands that were once part of the original homeland of the Nipmuc people. Their acknowledgment denounces the violence that stripped these original stewards of lands that were their ancestral home and denied their descendants the opportunity for an authentic connection to it.

Congratulations again to our ForHealth Consulting SoleMates UMass Cancer Walk team! Recently, they joined other fundraising superheroes at an Appreciation Reception on the UMass Chan Medical School campus and received a "Top Team" award for fundraising over $13,000 for adult and pediatric cancer research and care. Pictured below are some of the SoleMates with Provost Terence R. Flotte, the Celia and Isaac Haidak Professor, executive deputy chancellor, provost, and dean of the T.H. Chan School of Medicine.
