Gold Partners Council

The Gold Partners Council is a critical partner for the Gold Foundation, both as a vibrant extension of its mission into medical schools, academic medical centers, and hospitals, and as invaluable support to ensure humanistic care is sustained in the future.

View the lists of Gold Partners Council Medical School members and Hospital and Medical Center members.

The members of the Gold Partners Council are leaders of humanism in healthcare. Beyond the many tangible benefits, their membership sends a signal to their staff and their patients that they recognize that optimal care must be compassionate, collaborative, and scientifically excellent. 

We look to the Gold Partners Council members in our development of new programs and evolution of our current ones.

History

The council began as the Academic Medicine Gold Partners Council in 2011 to recognize medical institutions that stand in solidarity with our mission – “keeping healthcare human.” 

The council was revamped with more substantial tiers in 2017 and renamed the Gold Partners Council.
