| | Welcome to the second edition of Emory Update, a monthly communication highlighting Emory’s impact in Atlanta and around the world. This issue comes just days before an important milestone: Five years ago, on Aug. 2, 2014, Emory University Hospital welcomed the first patient with Ebola virus disease to be treated in the United States.
With Ebola once again a global health emergency, we look back on all that we learned from our experience caring for four patients with the virus — lessons that are revolutionizing how we treat infectious diseases. You can learn more below and you can hear directly from Emory Healthcare providers and Ebola patients treated here by joining a special Facebook Live event on Friday, Aug. 2, at 10 a.m. on the Emory University Facebook page.
I welcome your feedback as we strive to advance and improve our shared communities.
