Last month, Michael Reese staff— President and CEO Ameya Pawar and Chief Program Officer Blair Harvey—were joined by Board Members, Chair Mally Rutkoff and Vice Chair Judy Smith at the Jewish Funders Network Conference in Nashville, Tennessee. The conference united individuals and organizations dedicated to advancing social and economic justice, offering a chance to learn, collaborate, and strengthen partnerships for positive change within and beyond the Jewish community. As we reflect on our own history and role in advancing social justice, the conference served as a reminder of the enduring importance of institutions like Michael Reese. For over a century, we have been at the forefront of addressing critical health and social challenges, grounded in our values and deep community ties. This gathering reaffirmed the relevance of our mission, as we continue to work alongside others who are equally committed to building a more just and equitable future.
