Our Catholic mission calls us to strive to be a community where every person—including those who identify as LGBTQ—are seen, valued, and supported, and the God-given dignity of each individual is upheld.

This Pride Month, we renew our commitment to building the beloved community.

Our new study: Buprenorphine = fewer preterm births, fewer severe maternal complications.

Treatment saves lives & we found ~5 percentage point reduction in preterm birth.

Happy #MatchDay to those opening envelopes today. But to them, and anyone who didn’t match this year- an email does not define you. A location doesn’t define you. You can still be the doctor to want to be, where you want to be. You were strong enough to get this far and that doesn’t change ❤️
