我们的 DIO 致辞
追求激情，而不仅仅是事业
每当看到新一代医生在莱特医学研究生教育中心开始他们的住院医师和研究员培训时，总是令人振奋和鼓舞。成为一名医生是一个漫长而艰辛的过程，其中充满了兴奋和期待，但也有许多艰苦的工作。
I feel rejuvenated every year during the recruitment process as we interview numerous new physician candidates to fill the limited amount of positions we have available in our Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education-accredited graduate programs. It gives me great joy to engage with young doctors who are ready to take the next step in their careers and for me to learn about their goals, dreams and roles in this noble profession of medicine.
当我与有抱负的医生们分享我所选择的从医之路时，我的心情久久不能平静。我是赖特中心的毕业生，我为自己的选择感到自豪，并对赖特中心充满热情，这一决定最终成就了我作为这一开创性机构的指定机构官员的美好职业生涯。
Our mission at The Wright Centers for Community Health and Graduate Medical Education is to improve the health and welfare of our communities through responsive, whole-person health services for all and the sustainable renewal of an inspired, competent workforce that is privileged to serve.
Our history goes back nearly a half century. Since 1976, The Wright Center has been educating physicians and interprofessional students while providing affordable, high-quality whole-person primary health services locally – starting with our predecessor organization, the Scranton-Temple Residency Program. Our humble beginnings included six internal medicine residents training annually. Today, we have more than 670 employees, including around 200 resident and fellow physicians.
As one of the nation’s largest Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA)-funded Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education Safety-Net Consortiums, The Wright Center integrates patient care delivery, workforce development, and innovation to be the leading model of primary health care in America.
我们满怀激情地在宾夕法尼亚州东北部的以下地点履行我们的使命 我们的社区医疗中心和地区临床合作伙伴，主要为拉克瓦纳县、卢泽恩县、苏斯克汉纳县、韦恩县和怀俄明县的患者提供服务。 全国合作伙伴在华盛顿、亚利桑那州、俄亥俄州和华盛顿特区，我们还与联邦合格医疗中心建立了学习网络。
In 2019, HRSA designated The Wright Center for Community Health as a Federally Qualified Health Center Look-Alike, providing additional resources that allow our community health centers to further assist medically underserved rural and urban communities and vulnerable populations, including people who are underinsured and uninsured. Our community health centers, and local and national relationships enable our physician learners to gain hands-on experiences with various patient populations.
Those community health centers further reduce barriers to care by following the Patient-Centered Medical Home model, which provides integrated access to medical, dental, behavioral health, addiction and recovery, and infectious disease services at a single location. In the 2023-2024 fiscal year, The Wright Center recorded nearly 140,000 patient visits, including more than 33,000 unique patients, over 7,000 dental patients, and more than 4,000 people seeking mental and behavioral health services.
In addition, Pennsylvania designated The Wright Center for Community Health as an Opioid Use Disorder Center of Excellence in 2016 – one of about 50 centers in the commonwealth. Its related Healthy Maternal Opiate Medical Support Program, more commonly known as Healthy MOMS, involves dozens of committed partner organizations working together to empower women who are faced with the dual challenge of raising a baby and coping with a substance use disorder. We also offer Lifestyle Medicine, Obesity Medicine, an Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care Program, and a Ryan White HIV Clinic, the latter of which serves about 500 patients across seven counties. Our 34-foot mobile medical and dental unit, better known as Driving Better Health, improves access to care by establishing community clinics that enable clinical staff to see patients where they live, work, study, and play.
根据我们的使命和设计，我们致力于医学研究生教育、病人护理，以及对我们所服务的全国各地的社区产生积极的影响。如果您想寻找的不仅仅是一个住院医师培训项目，而是一个可以传授您的知识和技能，以改善我们光荣的职业和我们的服务对象的项目，那么赖特中心就是您的理想选择。
谢谢、
