In a significant stride toward healthcare innovation, the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU) and Mass General Brigham (MGB) Health System have formalized a partnership to drive advancements in a number of healthcare domains.
Dr. Jonathan Woodson, president of USU, and Dr. Gregg Meyer, president of Community Division and Executive Vice President of Value-Based Care for MGB Health System, signed a Statement of Intent (SOI) in a ceremony held at the Massachusetts General Hospital Paul Russell Museum in Boston on Oct. 25, 2023. The SOI solidifies the commitment of USU and MGB to work in unison on various critical healthcare initiatives, starting with three key areas: research, education and workforce development. Throughout the day, leaders from MGB and USU convened a series of discussions identifying core collaborative research areas and digital health innovations.
“It’s very clear to me, that given all the complexity of the world, what’s happening in healthcare – but more importantly, what’s happening geopolitically around the world – that working together, the civilian side and the military side, has never been of greater value. And I firmly believe that by working together we have a lot to learn from each other. But there’s something much more important. I actually think that what we’re beginning here tonight, is our chance to not only learn from each other, but learn together,” said Meyer. “We will be able to accelerate the development, validation, testing, and scaling of innovations across both the Military Health System and the civilian health system in a way that could only happen when you bring together two world class institutions – Uniformed Services University and Mass General Brigham.”
