BROWN UNIVERSITY HEALTH

A Message from the President and CEO and the Chair of the Board The past year has been one defined by collaboration, partnership and growth, as we focused on strengthening our health system and advancing our tripartite mission of research, medical education, and delivering exceptional care. This report covers our first full fiscal year under our new name and identity as Brown University Health, as well as the first full year since our expansion into Southeastern Massachusetts. Since our acquisition of Saint Anne’s and Morton hospitals and affiliated physician practices was finalized at the start of the FY26 fiscal year, this is also the first year our Massachusetts entities are included in our financial reporting. The moves to strengthen our affiliation with our academic partner and grow our regional footprint were both critical elements of a long-term strategic investment in our organization and our people.

That growth strategy continued over the past year, as we planned for the successful integration of Brown Physicians, Inc. (BPI) into Brown University Health, another transformative step. This ambitious merger eventually brought all BPI’s six foundations—Dermatology, Emergency Medicine, Medicine, Neurology, Surgery, and Urology—under the umbrella of Brown Health Medical Group, our multi-specialty faculty medical group. The merger represents a significant milestone in advancing academic medicine and patient care in Rhode Island. By bringing together Brown Health Medical Group and BPI’s complementary specialty services, we have created a more efficient and seamless experience for patients across our combined clinical services—most importantly, through the implementation of a single, unified electronic medical record. This is a key benefit for both patients and providers, improving coordination of care, strengthening collaboration among providers and enhancing patient access to a broader network of specialists.

Both the BPI merger and our partnership with Brown University and Care New England in the evolving Brown Innovation and Research Collaborative for Health (BIRCH), also help to support the continued growth of research and education in the Brown Health system, reinforcing our commitment to academic excellence and innovation in healthcare. Looking ahead, we continue to navigate in an extremely volatile and difficult healthcare environment. Changes at the federal level that impact patient access and funding for healthcare organizations, and low reimbursement rates for the essential care provided to Medicaid patients, are among the challenges we face.

Yet we are confident the foundation we strengthened this year will help us continue to build a stronger, more connected health system; improve health outcomes for the communities we serve, and shape the future of care throughout our region. Together, we are working to create a healthier future for all. Sincerely,

John Fernandez President and Chief Executive Officer Brown University Health

Samuel Mencoff Chair, Board of Directors Brown University Health

Patient Stories

Unexpected illness, disease, or injury can make patients feel like their lives have come to a halt. For the healers—the physicians, nurses and medical professionals—the goal is to ensure that life continues. Each patient is more than the sum of their symptoms or conditions—they are unique individuals with rich human stories, of which their medical journey is only one chapter. As caregivers, we work to restore them to health, so they can write the next chapter.

2025 ANNUAL REPORT

Care That Leads the State At Rhode Island Hospital, John R. Landry, Jr—J.R. as he is known to friends and family—became the first patient in the state to receive Hemgenix, a groundbreaking gene therapy for Hemophilia B, marking a significant milestone in care for people with the rare, inherited bleeding disorder. Hemophilia B is caused by a deficiency of Factor IX, an essential clotting protein that helps control bleeding. Without it, even minor injuries can lead to excessive and unpredictable bleeding. J.R. has lived with this condition since infancy.

“I am relieved to hear that he is doing well and the medication is working.” J.R.’s experience reflected the coordinated work of a multidisciplinary hematology and oncology team focused not only on treatment, but on patient and family outcomes. “As a mom, after watching him go through what he went through, this is an overwhelming feeling,” says Susan Landry, reflecting on her son’s care at Rhode Island Hospital.

To manage his disorder, J.R. began receiving infusions as a baby and continued weekly prophylactic infusions for about 30 of his 39 years. That routine changed when he underwent the one time gene therapy at Brown University Health’s Hemostasis and Thrombosis Center on the Rhode Island Hospital campus.

The therapy works by delivering a functional copy of the Factor IX gene to liver cells, allowing the body to begin producing the missing clotting protein and eliminating the need for regular infusions. “The biggest change, aside from no longer needing infusions, is not having that constant worry in the back of my head that if I go outside to play with my son and I get hurt I don’t have to treat it right away,” J.R. says. “I can just go and live.” The medication was carefully compounded in the hospital pharmacy by Christopher Gemming, pharmacy technician supervisor for the Brown Health Cancer Institute. Christopher also has hemophilia, giving him a personal understanding of what the treatment could mean. “As a hemophilia patient myself, I wanted to help him get better,” Christopher explains.

“I can just go and live.” – John R. Landry, Jr, patient

Care That Endures For Diane Daddario-Pfautz, Newport Hospital is more than the hospital where she receives ongoing cancer treatment. It is where she feels known, supported, and truly cared for. Through the Brown University Health Cancer Institute at Newport Hospital, Diane has found not only expert clinical care, but an environment that has helped her remain stable for a decade and inspired her to give back. “The caregivers at Newport Hospital are personable and address all of your questions and concerns,” Diane says. “They treat you more like a friend than a patient and the environment is very warm and intimate.”

That level of comfort and confidence, Diane adds, has made a positive impact on her health and well-being, and inspired her to give back to the hospital. Diane was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1995. It was discovered on a mammogram, and she underwent a lumpectomy at a Connecticut hospital to remove her tumor. Chemotherapy and radiation followed. Treatment was successful, and Diane was able to resume her active lifestyle for many years thereafter. But in 2014, Diane, now living in Newport, began experiencing debilitating back pain. She went for a diagnostic scan at Newport Hospital, which revealed multiple tumors in her spine. Diane was sent to Rhode Island Hospital to undergo precisely targeted, highdose radiation treatments delivered via CyberKnife, a robotic radiosurgery system. From that point to the present, Diane’s cancer care has been managed under the watchful eye of Newport Hospital staff. “I’ve been stable for 10 years,” she says proudly.

For the past few years, Diane’s regimen at the Cancer Institute has included estrogen-blocker injections once a month, lab work and bone-building infusion therapy every three months, and a full-body scan every six months.

“You don’t have to go up to Boston. You’re going to get the same care here and it’s so close.” – Diane Daddario-Pfautz, patient

Shortly after her first diagnosis of cancer, Diane was introduced to Reiki, the Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation. At the hospital where she was being treated at the time, patients were provided with complementary, hands-on energy therapy after chemo or radiation to reduce side effects and boost their immune system. Diane found the therapy so profoundly beneficial that she became a practitioner and earned certification as a Reiki master. Pre-COVID, Diane began volunteering at Newport Hospital and performing Reiki on other cancer patients, a practice she’s returned to in recent years. Reflecting on her healthcare journey, Diane says, ‘We’re really lucky to have that wonderful hospital right here in our community. You don’t have to go up to Boston. You’re going to get the same care here and it’s so close. It’s like my home away from home.”

2025 ANNUAL REPORT

“I didn’t want the treatment to be toxic to Joanna financially.” – Andrew Hsu, MD hematologist/oncologist

Care That Advocates When Joanna Ravello Goods began experiencing lightheadedness and a sense that she wasn’t fully present, she would later describe it as “a weird feeling”. The symptoms were subtle at first, and she attributed them to stress, a mild illness, or recent life changes. Still, she decided to see her primary care doctor. Initial testing revealed possible blood abnormalities that required immediate evaluation. Joanna went to the emergency department (ED) at The Miriam Hospital. “I could have gone to another hospital,” Joanna recounts, “but I had a relationship with The Miriam. I was a candy striper there in the 1980s and had relatives who worked there, including my parents and several of my siblings. I was aware of the exceptional care provided at the hospital and knew I’d be in the best hands.” That decision proved critical.

Testing confirmed the diagnosis, and treatment began immediately. During the next 12 days, first in the ED, then the ICU, and later on The Miriam’s fourth floor, Joanna received plasma exchanges, blood transfusions, corticosteroids, and immunosuppressive medications. A multidisciplinary team monitored her closely, focused on stabilizing her condition and supporting her recovery. One medication proved especially significant. The targeted specialty drug rapidly increased Joanna’s platelet counts, allowing her to leave the ICU sooner and stop plasma exchange earlier. Without it, her hospitalization could have stretched on for weeks. But the drug carried a $9,000 per day price tag and required a month long course. “I had confidence in the therapeutic protocol we were outlining, but I didn’t want the treatment to be toxic to Joanna financially,” explains hematologist/oncologist Andrew Hsu, MD.

Shortly after arriving, Joanna’s condition worsened. Hematologist/oncologist Matthew Hadfield, DO, who was on rounds in the ED, noticed she appeared confused and disoriented.

Drawing on his experience, Dr. Hsu identified a pharmaceutical assistance program that made the medication available at no cost, provided the first dose was administered in the hospital.

“Joanna was quite confused and not stringing things together appropriately or being cohesive,” Dr. Hadfield says.

After discharge, Joanna continued working closely with her care team to address the physical and emotional effects of TTP.

Her lab work showed a dangerously low platelet count, along with other abnormalities. Combined with her symptoms, Dr. Hadfield suspected thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), a rare and life threatening blood disorder that causes clotting in small blood vessels and can lead to stroke, seizures, heart attack, or kidney failure.

“All of the doctors, specialists, nurses, certified nursing assistants, medical assistants, unit secretaries, dietary aides, environmental services staff who I encountered left an indelible impact on me,” Joanna says. “This literal angel army ensured I felt safe, cared for, and hopeful during my darkest moments and restored me to better health. The Miriam Hospital embodies the very best of healthcare and humanity, and I will forever hold deep gratitude for every person’s effort.”

Care That’s Near “I started feeling better almost immediately.” – Susan Anderson, patient

Care That’s Near For a long time, Susan Anderson brushed off her shortness of breath. It came and went during ordinary activities, sometimes paired with a lingering cough. She told herself it was part of getting older or a passing illness. “Maybe I had a cold or something,” she’d tell herself. “But it’s not as bad as it was yesterday. So, it must be getting better.” It wasn’t getting better. Nor going away. Soon, the symptoms began to interfere with Susan’s daily life. While working as an administrative assistant at a collegepreparatory school, she noticed that a staircase she had climbed countless times was becoming increasingly difficult. “It was only 14 steps and an elevation of nine feet,” she recalls. “I used to get out of breath for a few seconds at the top and have to sort of pause and gather myself. But then the seconds turned into minutes, and I knew something was wrong.” Eventually, Susan’s breathing worsened to the point that she sought care in the emergency department at Rhode Island Hospital. Doctors discovered she had multiple pulmonary embolisms, blood clots that were blocking the arteries in her lungs. She was started on anticoagulants to prevent new clots from forming and to stabilize the existing ones. At first, the treatment helped. But as time went on, Susan still didn’t feel like herself. When she later came under the care of Christopher J. Mullin, MD, at Rhode Island Hospital, he suspected a more complex diagnosis: chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). A rare and potentially fatal condition, CTEPH occurs when unresolved blood clots cause scar tissue to form in the lungs, narrowing arteries, obstructing blood flow, and increasing pressure within the pulmonary vessels.

2025 ANNUAL REPORT

Specialized diagnostic testing confirmed the diagnosis. Susan would need Balloon Pulmonary Angioplasty (BPA), a minimally invasive procedure that uses balloon-tipped catheters to open blocked pulmonary arteries, improving blood flow and lowering pulmonary pressures. Until recently, patients in Rhode Island who required BPA had to travel out of state for treatment. That changed when a multidisciplinary team from Brown University Health’s Center for Advanced Lung Care (CALC) developed expertise in the procedure through advanced training. Rhode Island Hospital became the only facility in the state able to offer BPA, and Susan was its first patient. “Susan was the perfect patient candidate,” explains interventional cardiologist, Jinnette Dawn Abbott, MD. “She was on the healthier side, her blockages were approachable, and while her pulmonary pressures were abnormal, they weren’t so high that hemorrhages in the lungs were an exceedingly high risk. So, as long as she was willing, we were ready to go.”

Dr. Abbott performed Susan’s BPA with interventional radiologist, Sun Ho Ahn, MD. Because BPA is typically done in stages, Susan underwent four separate procedures, each followed by recovery time. “I started feeling better almost immediately,” says Susan. Now retired, Susan is doing something she once couldn’t safely consider—traveling. She has visited Hawaii, London, and Cambodia. “None of these trips were possible before the surgery,” Susan says. “Healthwise, I wasn’t cleared to fly anywhere.” Ever grateful, Susan reflects on her care team. “The word angels come to mind,” she says. “The level of concern and compassion they showed me was absolutely wonderful. It’s a remarkable gift they all have.”

Care That Conquered Anxiety

“That strength didn’t come from nowhere. It came from Bradley and the PARC program, and it saved our family.” – Alethea, patient-parent

At just 12 years old, Lucas was overwhelmed by fear. His hands were cracked and bleeding from compulsive washing—five pumps of soap, again and again—as he tried to scrub away the anxiety that had taken hold. Diagnosed with obsessivecompulsive disorder (OCD), Lucas developed intense fears: of bees, of being poisoned, of simply being outside. His family felt helpless. “Lucas was scared of the world,” recalls his mom, Alethea. When he began talking about hurting himself, they knew reassurance was not enough. They needed specialized care. That care came through the partial hospitalization program at Bradley Hospital’s Pediatric Anxiety Research Center (PARC). Lucas received intensive, exposure-based therapy—not only in a clinical setting, but in the environments where his fears showed up most: his backyard, his school, and his community. With the support of his care team, Lucas began rebuilding confidence, one step at a time. He named his OCD “Glitch,” a way to separate the illness from himself. Through daily coaching, he learned strategies to challenge it. His grandfather even made him a T shirt that read “Ditch the Glitch,” which Lucas proudly wore to his sessions.

Today, Lucas is back at school. He uses fidget toys, deep breathing, and grounding techniques to manage difficult moments. He checks in with a resource teacher and knows how—and when—to ask for help. “Lucas still has tough moments,” Alethea shares. “But now he says, ‘I’ve got this. Glitch can take a hike.’ That strength didn’t come from nowhere. It came from Bradley and the PARC program, and it saved our family.” For the medical staff, the feeling is mutual. “This man is a miracle,” Raymond states. “We are part of his family now, and they are part of ours.”

“I can’t express how grateful I am that I had this surgery. I don’t know where I ‘d be now if I didn’t.” – Anna Corwin, patient

Care That Restores Life Anna Corwin had tried nearly everything to alleviate her increasingly debilitating back pain. Once a very active nurse who loved gardening, Anna had begun, over several years, to use a wheelchair to get around. Travelling, shopping, and working in the yard all became problematic. “I had extensive physical therapy and then spinal injections, but they all stopped helping,” she says. After consulting three orthopedic surgeons and a neurosurgeon, Anna was eventually referred to a prominent Boston hospital, where she was advised to consider a spinal baclofen pump for pain control. Her husband and former chief medical officer at The Miriam Hospital, Bill Corwin, MD, reached out to a new colleague, Alan Daniels, MD, chief of The Miriam’s Division of Spine Surgery, for advice on the pump recommendation. Dr. Corwin had met Dr. Daniels in The Miriam emergency department when he had helped care for a close family friend who had metastatic spine cancer. Dr. Daniels had worked extremely hard to make the patient’s final weeks as comfortable as possible after stabilization surgery.

2025 ANNUAL REPORT

When he was approached regarding the request about the pump, Dr. Daniels asked permission to review Anna’s CT and MRI films. He and Dr. Corwin discussed having Anna come in for an evaluation. An offer was made to attempt corrective surgery, because “that is what we do,” Dr. Daniels explained.

In the skillful hands of Dr. Daniels, Anna had her T10 to S1 fusion surgery at The Miriam Hospital. Five hours, two eight-inch rods, 18 screws, and two large anchors into the pelvis later, Anna began a new chapter of her life that she never thought would be possible. “From not being able to walk to getting back to my garden and playing with my three grandchildren, it has been a 1,000 percent difference,” says Anna. “The impact Dr. Daniels and the Spine Center at The Miriam Hospital has had on my life is dramatic. I can’t express how grateful I am that I had this surgery. I don’t know where I ‘d be now if I didn’t.”

Care That Empowers When seven-year-old Liam Chapman began complaining of stomachaches, his parents, Stacie and Lincoln, assumed it was a virus or growing pains. An active kid who loved flag football, basketball, and baseball, Liam rarely slowed down— until the pain kept him off the field.

“They didn’t just take care of Liam….They took care of all of us.” – Stacie Chapman, parent

That’s when the family went to Hasbro Children’s emergency department, where everything changed. After a series of tests, Liam was diagnosed with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). “The emergency department just had a feeling something wasn’t right and ordered blood work,” says Dana Egan-Sherry, MD, Liam’s pediatric hematologist/oncologist. “That decision saved his life. T-cell leukemia is incredibly aggressive, and even a few more days could have left him much sicker.” “It felt like an out-of-body experience,” says Stacie. The diagnosis launched Liam into a two-year treatment journey. Liam spent 29 days in the PICU before transitioning to Hasbro Children’s Tomorrow Fund Clinic for ongoing chemotherapy and follow-up care. Throughout it all, the Chapmans felt supported. “They didn’t just take care of Liam,” Stacie recalls. “They took care of all of us.” The care team helped explain the diagnosis to Liam in age-appropriate ways and connected the family with services to ease both the emotional and financial strain, including help navigating insurance.

At Hasbro Children’s, every child is assigned both a primary doctor and a primary nurse, ensuring continuity and trust. For Liam, that nurse was Glenna Swann, RN, who helped ease his fear around chemotherapy port access. What started as tears and long countdowns gradually turned into music, dancing, and laughter. With nurses joining in and Liam’s favorite hype-up song, “Crank That” by Soulja Boy, port access became manageable. “Liam came to us terrified and anxious, but step by step he found his courage” shares Glenna. “Together we created a routine that gave him control—countdowns, music, even dancing. Before long, he didn’t need the countdown at all. He’d just shout, ‘Just do it! ‘ while the song played. Watching him grow into such a brave, resilient kid has been one of the greatest joys of my career.” There were bright spots Liam looked forward to: foot massages, art projects, yogurt treats at clinic, and a 3-on-3 basketball fundraiser organized by staff. When the Boston Celtics won the championship, Liam, an avid fan, celebrated with the care team that had become like family.

Now eight, Liam is nearing the end of his 25-month treatment plan. His hair is growing back, and he’s returned to the sports fields he loves. For the Chapmans, care at Hasbro Children’s has meant more than medicine. “People assume you have to go to Boston for the best care,” Stacie shares. “But we received top-notch, superior care right here in Rhode Island. We’ll never forget that.”

“It’s really quite amazing seeing your hand going from ‘It’s not going to move’ to, all of a sudden, your fingers are working.” – Harold Ritter, patient

Care That Gives a Second Chance For Harold, participation felt like a natural fit. After a second stroke, Harold Ritter came to Rhode Island Hospital facing profound physical challenges. The stroke left “My interest in the clinical trial became really heightened him unable to walk, limited his speech, and took away the use of his right arm, his dominant side. Harold was suddenly because I have a technical background,” he said. “It intrigued me to find out more about it. Not only is it an opportunity struggling with everyday tasks he once performed without to give back if it doesn’t work for me, but it’s also a way to thinking—tying his shoes, getting dressed, and navigating possibly improve myself.” daily life independently. When Harold met Wael Asaad, MD, PhD, a neurosurgeon and director of the Functional Neurosurgery Program at the Norman Prince Neurosciences Institute and leader of the local arm of the RESTORE study, he made it clear he was ready to put in the work. “When I first met Harold, I was very impressed by him because it was clear that, despite the stroke, he wasn’t going to let anything get him down,” said Dr. Asaad. “He had a very positive attitude. He was eager to try new things to help himself.” Harold enrolled in RESTORE: Deep Brain Stimulation of the Cerebellum to Enhance Motor Recovery after Stroke, an 18-month clinical trial led by Brown University Health in partnership with the Cleveland Clinic. The study explores whether deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the cerebellum can safely help people regain hand function after stroke. “In this specific clinical trial, we’re hoping that deep brain stimulation targeting the motor pathways can help people who’ve had a stroke recover some of their function, specifically their hand function,” Dr. Asaad said.

2025 ANNUAL REPORT

Dr. Asaad performed Harold’s DBS surgery in two stages, implanting a lead in the brain and later connecting it to a small battery placed under the skin of his chest. “Deep brain stimulation is very much like a pacemaker for the brain,” Dr. Asaad said. Following surgery, Harold’s care team carefully programmed the device and continued rehabilitation. Progress came gradually, but meaningfully. “It’s really quite amazing seeing your hand going from ‘It’s not going to move’ to, all of a sudden, your fingers are working,” Harold said. “It’s really an exciting process.” Today, Harold uses his right hand with greater confidence and independence. “What they’re doing here is phenomenal,” he said. To hear Harold share his come-back story and insight from Dr. Asaad, watch this video. (Link below)

Advancing Research, Delivering Impact From clinical trials to global collaboration, Brown Health researchers are advancing the field of medicine. Brown University Health attracted a record $160 million in research funding in FY25, a powerful testament to the work of our physician scientists and researchers, and to the centrality of our research enterprise to the Brown Health mission. Together, research and education are driving innovation across the system, while accelerating discoveries, expanding access to groundbreaking treatments, and strengthening the infrastructure that supports the next generation of research.

Advancing Cancer Research Across Brown University Health, research is reshaping how cancer is understood and treated, bringing new therapies to patients today while laying the groundwork for tomorrow’s breakthroughs.

At Rhode Island Hospital, Clark C. Chen, MD, professor of neurosurgery and director of the Brain Tumor Program at Brown University Health, drives the same commitment to innovation. He’s leading the first U.S. clinical trial combining focused ultrasound with immunotherapy to treat brain metastases. This noninvasive technique uses sound waves to temporarily open the blood-brain barrier, allowing therapies to reach tumors more effectively and offering the potential to reduce the need for surgery and radiation. Complementing these clinical advances, investigators are also deepening understanding of cancer at the molecular level. Dr. Chen and a team of Brown Health researchers studying glioblastoma, one of the most aggressive forms of brain cancer, have identified a key factor in how tumors resist treatment. By targeting a small molecule that influences how cancer cells respond to therapy, the team is working toward new approaches that could improve the effectiveness of existing treatments and reduce drug resistance.

Together, these efforts reflect a comprehensive approach to cancer research, spanning discovery, clinical trials, and novel therapies that bring new options to patients while advancing the field.

At The Miriam Hospital, earlyphase clinical trials led by Benedito Carneiro, MD, director of Clinical Research and Cancer Drug Development, associate director of the Division of Hematology/Oncology, and coleader of the Cancer Therapeutics Program at the Legorreta Cancer Center at Brown University are providing patients with access to promising new prostate cancer treatments not yet widely available. These studies focus on highly targeted approaches, including next-generation immunotherapy and therapies designed to deliver cancer-fighting agents directly to tumors, improving precision while reducing side effects. Together, they reinforce the role of clinical trials as a cornerstone of patient care and a critical pathway for advancing treatment.

Together, research and education are driving innovation across the system, while accelerating discoveries, expanding access to groundbreaking treatments, and strengthening the infrastructure that supports the next generation of research. Expanding Research Impact

Brown Health’s research enterprise extends across disciplines to address pressing health challenges locally and beyond. At Bradley Hospital, researchers at the Pediatric Anxiety Research Center (PARC) are leading a large-scale study to evaluate new ways of delivering care for children and adolescents with anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder. By comparing in-person, telehealth, and hybrid models, and partnering with community-based organizations, the study aims to expand access to evidence-based treatment, particularly for underserved populations, and improve outcomes for some of the most common mental health conditions affecting young people. At a global level, new investment is advancing research on infectious diseases that continue to affect millions of people worldwide. The National Institutes of Health awarded a $12.1 million grant to the Brown Health Center for International Health Research at Rhode Island Hospital to establish a new Center for Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE). Dubbed the “Pathogens COBRE,” it is focused on pathogens such as malaria, tuberculosis, and Ebola and schistosomiasis. Led by Jennifer Friedman, MD, PhD, MPH, and Jonathan Kurtis, MD, PhD, the program brings together experts from Brown University Health, Brown University, and the University of Rhode Island to accelerate discovery while supporting early-career investigators through mentorship, protected research time, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

From expanding access to mental health care in local communities to advancing global efforts in infectious disease research, these initiatives reflect a broader commitment to improving health outcomes across populations and settings.

2025 ANNUAL REPORT

Building Rhode Island’s Research Engine

Behind these advances is a coordinated effort to strengthen the systems that support research across the region. Through the Brown Innovation and Research Collaborative for Health (BIRCH), Brown University Health, Brown University, and Care New England are working to better align research operations and streamline processes. A key milestone this year was the development of a unified Human Research Protection Program, creating a shared framework to ensure that all research involving patients is conducted safely, ethically, and in full compliance with federal standards.

The consolidation of research offices under a single organizational structure has further improved coordination and support for investigators, helping to create a more integrated and efficient research environment.

Fostering a Culture of Discovery

Equally important is the culture that sustains this work, bringing together researchers, clinicians, and trainees to share ideas and drive progress. Brown University Health’s 32nd Annual Research Day reflected this momentum, with a record 160 abstract submissions from across the region. The event highlighted the breadth of research underway and provided a forum for collaboration, knowledge exchange, and recognition of excellence, including the presentation of the Bruce Selya Award to Sean F. Monaghan, MD, FACS, for his work in sepsis research. Through continued investment in collaboration, training, and mentorship, Brown Health is strengthening its research community and supporting the next generation of scientists and clinicians who will carry this work forward.
