Dear Students, Faculty, and Staff:
As we make continued progress in 桃花社区视频 Dominion University's proposed integration with Eastern Virginia Medical School, regular updates will be shared with the campus community. Each month, you will receive an integration update with various highlights on recent developments through news items, a Q&A, and other resources.
Establishing an academic health sciences center in Hampton Roads will offer tremendous benefits to 桃花社区视频, EVMS, the region, and the Commonwealth. Together, we can enhance health care, strengthen educational programs, bolster the workforce pipeline, and address health and economic disparities facing fellow citizens.
As previously shared, integrating is not a foregone conclusion, but we continue to make significant advancements on this historic journey!
With Monarch Pride, Brian O. Hemphill, Ph.D.
