Tenagne Haile-Mariam, MD, D'83, MED'88, will lead a panel of fellow clinicians, who will share their personal and professional experiences from the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic. They will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of their urban healthcare system and how they are innovating to overcome challenges and meet evolving needs. They will summarize major achievements, such as starting a city-wide call center, scaling up telehealth resources, and the creation of COVID-19 “strike teams.” The group will also reflect on how national and local responses to COVID-19 have played out at a local level—and on the heartbreaking inequalities that have been magnified by the pandemic.
Haile-Mariam cares for patients at both George Washington University Hospital and United Medical Center. In addition, she teaches medical students and residents and is chief of Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine at GW School of Medicine & Health Sciences.
