Celebrating Hispanic & Latine Heritage Month with Dr. Antonia Coello Novello

All are invited to the Perspectives for Inclusion lecture in celebration of Hispanic and Latine Heritage Month. Antonia Coello Novello, former Surgeon General of the United States, will discuss her book, "Duty Calls: Lessons Learned from an Unexpected Life of Service."

Dr. Novello’s story is one of enduring commitment to public health and leadership — including becoming the first woman and first Hispanic to serve as U.S. Surgeon General, a long career with the National Institutes of Health, serving as New York State Commissioner of Health during 9/11, and coordinator of health care resources in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria and during the Covid-19 pandemic. Her countless awards include the U.S. Army’s Civilian Award for Humanitarian Service, the National Guard Merit Cross Medal, the National Women’s Hall of Fame, and the AMA Board of Trustees Special Award for Meritorious Service.

Space is limited; please RSVP.
