GHHS Projects

• December Clothing Drive - GHHS sponsored clothing drive hosted at the medical school and associated building. Donations benefit shelters and underserved housing projects in the New Orleans area. The past two years have resulted in the donation of over 3600 articles of clothing!

 

• Student of the Semester - Each semester, GHHS recognizes members of each class for their interactions with patients, community and peers. These individuals were nominated and selected by their peers for their example of the principles of the GHHS and the LSUHSC community.

 

• GHHS Lecture on Humanism in Medicine to entering L1 classes - A course designed and conducted by LSU GHHS Chapter members highlighting those aspects of patient care emphasized by the concepts of empathy, altruism, integrity, compassion, excellence, respect and service. These ideals are examined within the context of the Oath of Hippocrates and based on actual Student of the Month submissions and personal witnessed or experienced examples by GHHS members.

 

• National Patient Solidarity Day - The LSU Chapter of the GHHS participated along with many other schools in National Patient Solidarity Day. This day is marked by a celebration where medical schools, patient care institutions and other organizations around the country show their support of the importance of kindness to patients.
