Thanksgiving Greetings

As the Thanksgiving holiday approaches, all of us at CMB wish to take the opportunity to extend appreciation to our partners and colleagues for their support of our mission.  The contributions of energy, expertise, and creativity from professionals in many fields help to make our small staff a strong force for advancing health, equity, and the quality of care throughout Asia. 

Over the course of the past year, that generosity of spirit has been evident in so many ways.  We see this in our combined efforts to strengthen medical education, to develop the talents of new generations of leaders for health, to take steps to ensure access to quality health care for all, and in many other ways.

Authentic, Understated, and Inspiring: A Personal Reflection on the Life of Chuck Feeney

Le Nhan Phuong, Equity Initiative Executive Director, shares a personal reflection on the life and legacy of Chuck Feeney. "The world has lost a truly magnificent human being. To many, Chuck Feeney was a great philanthropist and humanitarian, championing causes globally to help make the world a better place. His 'giving while living' philosophy helped to put the urgency in philanthropic giving and inspired the 'Giving Pledge.'

Remembering a Remarkable Human Being and Champion for Equity

The trustees and staff of China Medical Board mourn the passing of Chuck Feeney, a business leader, philanthropist, and equity champion, who died on October 9. Mr. Feeney’s long history of philanthropy was shaped by an unwavering desire to improve the lives of others. Through The Atlantic Philanthropies he directed his giving toward areas of global significance, including children and youth, aging, social determinants of health, and rights and reconciliation. He recognized the importance of investing in social change leaders willing to dedicate their expertise and passion to achieving meaningful and lasting change. His philanthropic goals were ambitious, yet his philanthropy was shaped by personal modesty and a belief that action was more important than credit received.

Barbara Stoll Reflects on Leadership Transition at CMB

As our trustees announced in January, CMB has embarked on a leadership transition, as Roger Glass begins his tenure as CMB President, and I step into the role of Senior Advisor to CMB.

Celebrating International Women’s Day

On International Women’s Day, my colleagues and I celebrate the many contributions that women make in support of the mission of the China Medical Board. Their commitment to advancing health, equity, and the quality of care is evident in every area of CMB’s work in China, Southeast Asia, and globally. It is especially rewarding to see the number of young women professionals who are engaged in these efforts, including those who are our Clinical Education Fellows, Global Health Leadership Development Fellows, principal investigators of Open Competition grants, and Equity Initiative Fellows. What a source of inspiration they are!
