Dear Colleagues,

I am writing to let you know about one of our initiatives designed to highlight the importance of clinical research at Penn Medicine. Our efforts coincide with the upcoming International Clinical Trials Day on May 20, 2022.

In partnership with Penn Medicine Marketing, we have designed materials that celebrate clinical research conducted at Penn Medicine. Visible across the campus (HUP, PPMC, PAH, LGH, and Penn Medicine @ Radnor & Cherry Hill), these include screensavers in patient rooms and waiting areas, as well as brochures intended for patients and their families in ambulatory clinics. Pins will also be made available for Clinical Research Professionals, Faculty Investigators, and Red Coat Ambassadors - all with a view to raising public awareness of clinical research conducted at Penn.

My hope is that you will partner with us to increase the visibility of clinical research on our campus and in doing so recognize the importance of your respective contributions.

Thanks for all that you do to contribute to advancing the care for Penn Medicine patients and our Clinical Research Enterprise.

Sincerely,

Emma
