ForwardIn-Person - Herbert H. Greene, M.D., Annual Commemoration: Defending Human Dignity
Dignity is viewed as a universal concept in health sciences and a feature necessary to promote health and alleviate suffering related to sickness and impending death. The experience of dignity is significantly meaningful in people’s lives and may be a resource for personal health and well-being. Adopting evidence-based interventions supported by adequate theoretical backing can help enhance patient dignity in hospital and community settings.
Join keynote speaker Richard Gunderman, M.D., Ph.D., as he reviews past offenses against human dignity, outlines the costs of failure to respect human dignity, and explores ways to promote human dignity in healthcare.
About Herbert H. Greene, M.D.
When Herbert H. Greene joined Baptist Hospital’s Emergency Department on May 27, 1964, he was a pioneer –– not only the first Black physician in the hospital, but also the first south of Flagler Street.
In 2021, Baptist Health’s Board of Trustees designated May 27 as a day to reflect and recommit to the professional and humanitarian values that Dr. Greene personified.
Every year at the Herbert H. Greene, M.D., commemoration program, we remind ourselves of all that he accomplished and of all the unfinished work that remains. Dr. Greene's enduring impact is his influence on our culture. The lives he touched as a physician and the hearts and minds he opened as a healer and colleague provide an everlasting cornerstone of our organization and purpose.
