We have lost a loved and cherished leader in our learning communities, Dr. Louse Arnold, who passed away on December 17, 2020. She made numerous contributions to education and she mentored many in her long career at the UKMC School of Medicine. She will be missed by all of us who were touched by her kind soul. Dr. Arnold is truly one of those people you only meet once in a lifetime. We wish her and her family peace.
With Hearfelt Sympathy,
The Learning Communities Institute Leadership
Dear LCI Members
This month marks one year since the first lab-confirmed case of COVID-19 in North America. During the last twelve months, the pandemic has upended almost every aspect of what we once considered normal life. We are watching the outcomes of known healthcare disparities in our system negatively affect communities of color due to the pandemic. We are also witnessing an elevated awareness of and reckoning with longstanding practices of systemic racial oppression and injustice in our nation.
