Saturday's all day Team Building Leadership course offers activities that facilitate individual growth while promoting a team-oriented approach to pr oblem-solving. It's a fun way to challenge yourself while getting to know your classmates.
From a 2014 retreat participant:
"I learned a great deal about socioeconomic stratification. Fro m the case studies my observations and guess of the underlying themes led m e to wonder if many of the patients who posed challenges during treatment a lso suffered from poverty. When you’re worried about putting food on the ta ble or going to jail\, I imagine health becomes less of a concern. When on e enters life on the bottom rung\, it’s remarkably difficult to climb up. T hank you so much for putting on an educational and insightful event.”< /p>

Suggs\, D.D.S. gradu ated with bachelor’s and doctor of dental surgery degrees from Indiana Univ ersity\, completing his post-graduate work at Washington University Dental School and Homer G.

< p>He was a long-time president of the Alexander-Suggs Gallery of African Ar t based in St. Louis and New York City (1970-89).

At the heart of the Centr al West End there is a street called Children’s Place\, but part of that st reet at the center of the Washington University in St. Louis Medical campus will soon be named Nash Way. The change will honor a family whose legacy c ontinues to define pediatric care in St. Louis. As two St. Louis pediatrici ans\, we celebrate this well-deserved tribute as we mourn the loss of Dr. H omer Nash Jr.\, a consummate educator and renowned clinician whose name is synonymous with compassionate care.
The Nash family priorit
ized health equity by caring for the health and well-being of hundreds\, if
not thousands\, of children in the St. Louis area.
Read the story »
The medical careers of two of his children\, Helen and Homer\, brought them to St. Louis and forever changed this city for the better. Dr. Helen Nash did her residency at Homer G. Phillips Hospital and was made supervisor of pediatrics the minute she finished her training. She transformed care at that hospital and in 1949 be came the first African American woman to join the attending staff at St. Lo uis Children’s Hospital\, where she helped develop one of the first special ized wards for premature infants.
She fought to get the best care for her patients — and for basic recognition of their humanity. Helen was also one of the first four African American physicians on the clinical faculty of Washington University School of Medicine and later served as acting dean of minority affairs for three years after her retirement from practice. S he paved the way for others to follow her\, creating a scholarship for St. Louis kids looking to pursue careers in medicine.
Dr. Homer E. Nash J r. served in the U.S. Army in Italy during World War II and received a Purp le Heart and a Bronze Star. When he returned\, he went to medical school in Nashville and then moved to St. Louis to train under his sister at Homer G . Phillips.
The Nash family has shown us what it means to take seriou sly the health and specific needs of all members of our community. Nash Way will honor this extraordinary family and serve as a permanent testimonial of their service.
In February\, the city approved a measure renaming Children's Place – between Euclid Avenue on the west to Taylor Avenue on th e east -- as Nash Way\, to celebrate the accomplishments and cultural impac t of Dr. Helen Nash on the St. Louis region.
Free validated parking i s available in the Euclid Garage\, across the street from the Center for Ad vanced Medicine (CAM) building or the Metro garage.
