During a first-ever virtual Leadership Assembly necessitated through social distancing, Vanderbilt University Medical Center leaders answered questions about the Medical Center’s response to COVID-19 so far and what the future could hold. The resolve and innovation on display over the past two months spotlight VUMC’s caring spirit — and underscore how that spirit is fundamental to all Medical Center missions, said Jeff Balser, MD, PhD, President and CEO of VUMC and Dean of Vanderbilt University School of Medicine.
