Dr. Gibbs also served as associate dean for diversity and cultural competence and an assistant professor in the department of medicine at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.

“UMass Memorial is committed to transforming equity inpatient care for our communities and improving inclusion for our caregivers,” said Eric W.
