The Desimone Levee on the Green River failed and is under repair. The hospital is above the flood zone and currently in no danger of flooding. We evacuated our Time Square and Kent Station Clinics and our Lind Avenue locations. Several locations are experiencing staffing issues due to severe traffic impacts. Impacted patients are being contacted to reschedule appointments. Please be safe, do not drive or walk through standing water, and call 9-1-1 if you need emergency evacuation assistance.

Grand Rounds and Inservice Talks - September 2021
Upcoming Grand Rounds
Race in Medicine | September 15, 2021 at 12:30-1:30 PM | Naomi Shike, MD, MSc, UW Medicine
Objectives:
1. Define race and understand the differences between race, genetic commonality, and ancestry.
2. Identify the pitfalls of use of race as a variable in medicine.
3. Use "race" to illuminate the underpinnings of inequity while avoiding uses that perpetuate the harmful idea that race is a reasonable surrogate for biology.
