At a reception in October 2024, the VMHF showcased how research in the Vincent Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Mass General is benefitting women’s health. Held at the beautiful Paul S. Russell, MD, Museum of Medical History and Innovation at Mass General, the event featured presentations by VMHF Trustees and Vincent OB/GYN faculty, including Jeffrey Ecker, MD, MGH Chair Emeritus of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Andrea Edlow, MD, MSc, the newly appointed Vice Chair for Research, and Bo Rueda, PhD, Director of the Vincent Center for Reproductive Biology (VCRB). In a lively Q&A session, the 93 guests in attendance had the opportunity to ask Vincent OB/GYN physicians and scientists questions about their work as well as tour the VCRB, a state-of-the-art lab where discoveries about genes, molecules and cells are leading to innovative clinical treatments in women’s health.

More than 60 people attended a house party in June 2023 sponsored by the VMHF Outreach Committee, co-chaired by VMHF Trustees Ann Corcoran and Victoria Whitney, whose organizational leadership was pivotal to the event’s success. It was co-hosted by VMHF Trustees Derek Taff and Brant Binder, who graciously provided his Chestnut Hill home for the evening event. Guests had opportunity to meet VMHF trustees and hear presentations by members of the Vincent OB/GYN faculty including Jeffrey Ecker, MD, chief of the Vincent Department of OB/GYN at Mass General, and Bo Rueda, PhD, director of the Vincent Center for Reproductive Biology (VCRB).
