Transforming Ideas into IMPACT

Celebrating History and Progress

Dear Friends,

Our academic medical community was founded 225 years ago, when Nathan Smith established a med ical school at Dartmouth College. Ahead of his time, Smith taught his students an approach to medicine that mirrors today’s emphasis on patient-centered care, and he was committed to giving the people of northern New England greater access to highly skilled doctors.

Over the past 12 months, the Geisel School of Medicine and Dartmouth Health have taken a number of steps to reinforce—and build upon—Smith’s core values. Strong integration between our organizations, our deepening partnerships within Dartmouth Col lege, and the generous support we receive from friends like you has made this year one of extraordinary development.

In January, we announced the landmark $25 million gift from Dorothy Byrne that established the Byrne Family Cancer Research Institute at Dartmouth Cancer Center. This joint venture between our organizations and Dartmouth College will fast-track world-class scientific discoveries from the laboratory to the bedside to benefit cancer patients in the region and around the world.

A few months later, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health became Dartmouth Health. This new name and identity represents the close alignment and robust connections between our two organizations and the importance of our academic partnership. It also reinforces the health system’s reputation nationally and reflects our ability to provide the highest-quality care to people across our region.

The Geisel community continues to make im portant headway on a new strategic plan that will serve as a guide for our school over the next five years. A key component of this plan is to dismantle structural barriers to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging—a top priority at both of our or

ganizations. Lisa McBride, PhD, joined Geisel as associate dean for diversity, equity, and inclusion in August, and Dartmouth Health welcomed Teresa Dean Malcolm, MD, as vice president of diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging. These crucial appointments will help us cultivate an environment in which all members of our academic medical community feel a sense of belonging.

This year marked two other anniversaries in addi tion to Geisel’s: The Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center (CHaD) turned 30, and Dartmouth Cancer Center celebrated its 50th year as a National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center. Our rich history is a testament to the success of Nathan Smith’s vision for medical education and patient care in northern New England.

You showed your commitment to this foundational vision with philanthropic gifts and commitments totaling $94.5 million for the 12 months ending June 30—an all-time high for our academic medical com munity. In the pages that follow, you’ll see how your generosity is saving lives, fueling discovery, inspiring the next generation of healthcare leaders, and so much more. Your support is the catalyst that transforms ideas into impact, and everyone in our academic medical community is ever grateful for it.

When it comes to stroke and other neurological emergencies, every second counts—it’s the difference between successful rehabilitation and permanent disability or even death.

But not all regional hospitals can staff an on-call neurologist in their emergency departments, and the closest specialist could be several hours away. That was the case on the day in mid-July when Michael Judd and his wife, Susan Judd, arrived at North Country Hospital, a small critical access hospital in Newport City, Vermont, after he had a stroke.

Marc Bouchard, MD, an emergency department physician at the hospital, immediately recognized Michael’s stroke symptoms and, within minutes, initiated a high-definition audio-video consultation with a neurologist at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC). The consultation was part of Dartmouth Health’s teleNeurology service, which launched in 2017 at three sites and now connects Dart mouth Hitchcock neurologists with 14 regional community access and critical access hospitals—no matter how far away they are, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

“Patients come in with all kinds of neurologic conditions, and you don’t always have specialists at your fingertips to take over for you,” says Bouchard, who estimates his hospital makes several video calls a week to DHMC. “Because of the teleNeurology service, you don’t feel alone when you have to make critical, life-changing decisions on treatment.”

Not only that, the service also saves precious time. Without a specialist oncall, many hospitals choose to transfer these patients to advanced care medical facilities like DHMC, when in fact they could be effectively—and immediately—treated right where they are. Unnecessary transfers only delay crucial, time-sensitive treatment.

A REASSURING PRESENCE

In Michael’s case, he was soon being examined by a neurologist who was 100 miles away: Keith McAvoy, MD, the medical director of the teleNeurology service and section chief of general neurology at Dartmouth Hitchcock Clinics Manchester.

Through advanced technology, including web cameras capable of allowing a physician to clearly examine a patient’s pupils, McAvoy quickly determined Michael should receive the clot-dissolving medicine tPA, or tissue plasminogen activator. With confidence, the staff at North Country Hospital started the IV and, at McAvoy’s direction, proceeded with the next steps of Michael’s care.

“I felt very secure talking and listening to him even though it was a brand-new experience,” Michael says. “Dr. McAvoy had everyone working on their own step. If that

hadn’t happened and I hadn’t had that technology, there’s a good chance I wouldn’t be here talking to you today.”

Bouchard confirms that McAvoy’s support made all the difference— not only in expert medical care for Michael but also in confidence for the physicians and nurses, and peace of mind for everyone in the room. “These decisions are time sensitive, so we have to decide very rapidly, even though tPA can have serious side effects if used under the wrong conditions,” Bouchard says. “Having backup from a tele-neurologist brings highly specialized medicine right to

the patient’s room. It’s a stress reliever for us and reassurance for the family. It was like Dr. McAvoy was right there with us.”

“In the old days before teleNeurolo gy,” McAvoy says, “these decisions at a remote hospital without a neurologist would have been made based on what information is provided in a phone call to a neurologist at another hospital. Maybe the patient is not even having a stroke; it could be a stroke mimic like Bell’s palsy when the face suddenly becomes weak. You can usually tell if it’s Bell’s palsy if you see the patient, but you can’t always tell if it’s just described over the phone. You don’t want to give tPA if the patient hasn’t had a stroke because of serious complications. Having video

can help make the determination about what to do.”

Sometimes, McAvoy adds, “I would have had to drive to the other hospital, which causes delays in making decisions. The longer it takes to make decisions, the greater the chance of a detrimental outcome. Through audio-video, I can hear the patient well and see the patient well, like I’m doing a consult right there. It’s a time-saving tool.”

When it became apparent that Michael needed a thrombectomy, an additional interventional procedure to remove his blood clot, McAvoy ordered him to be transferred to DHMC, where he could receive the lifesaving procedure that North Country Hospital wasn’t equipped to provide.

Health system offers a CONTINUUM OF CARE

For patients like Michael Judd, the web of care that began with a lifesaving DHMC teleNeurology consult at their local hospital, followed by a transfer to DHMC for advanced treatment, often continues with rehab care at Mt. Ascutney Hospital and Health Center.

Mt. Ascutney is a member of the Dartmouth Health system, and its rehabilitation center on the hospital campus in Windsor, Vermont, is one of only two acute rehabilitation programs in the state. Its inpatient and outpatient programs provide multidisciplinary rehabilitation care to help people regain function following stroke, cardiac disease, hip fracture, brain or spinal cord injury, and other traumas.

“Being able to provide our patients with continuity of care within our health system following their hospital discharge—whether through rehab at Mt. Ascutney or home health support by Visiting Nurse & Hospice of Vermont and New Hampshire—is so important,” notes Susan Reeves, EdD, RN, CENP, executive vice president of DHMC and Dartmouth Health’s chief nursing executive.

When Michael transferred to Mt. Ascutney from DHMC in late July, his stroke had left him completely paralyzed on his left side and his speech slurred. He went home from Mt. Ascutney in early August walking with a walker and speaking clearly.

“Mt. Ascutney’s rehabilitation center is superb at providing rehab services for our patients who need neurologic rehabilitation,” says neurologist Keith McAvoy, MD, medical director of DHMC’s teleNeurology service and section chief of general neurology at Dartmouth Hitchcock Clinics Manchester. “Dartmouth Health is fortunate to have them within our network providing excellent care.”

Pictured above: Susan and Michael Judd, married 54 years, are grateful to have more time together thanks to lifesaving teleNeurology.

“

Being able to provide our patients with continuity of care within our health system following their hospital discharge—whether through rehab at Mt. Ascutney or home health support by Visiting Nurse & Hospice of Vermont and New Hampshire—is so important.”

WHEN TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE

In addition to facilitating prompt, long-distance specialty care, the teleNeurology service also benefits patients in other ways. Most patients would prefer to remain close to home to be near their loved ones; through teleNeurology, a neurologist at DHMC can quickly determine whether a patient can be treated successfully right where they are, rather than being transferred. This also preserves DHMC’s limited number of beds for the most critical patients who undeniably must be transferred. And students at the Geisel School of Medicine can observe teleNeurology consultations remotely, giving them experience for services they may provide to their future patients.

Dartmouth Health’s telehealth services go beyond neurology, too. The Center for TeleHealth, founded in 2012, offers tele-support for other specialties and departments, including pharmacy, psychiatry, ICU, and neona tal ICU, as well as virtual outpatient, emergency, and urgent care. These telehealth services improve patient

safety, outcomes, and convenience, and they augment specialty services at regional hospitals.

McAvoy says Michael is a testament to the increased patient safety and positive outcomes that tele-services provide. The Judds agree.

Thanks to the service, Susan says she expects a successful recovery for her husband, who returned home in mid-August, walking and talking clearly again after receiving treatment and physical therapy at Dartmouth Health’s Mt. Ascutney Hospital and Health Center. She’s extremely grate ful for McAvoy’s expert care. “We’ve been together 54 years, and I don’t know what I would do without my husband.”

Although Michael says he was re luctant to go to the emergency room, he now urges other patients to get to a hospital immediately when a medical crisis arises because time is of the essence.

“If other patients are like me, they might be afraid. You’re always afraid of the unknown,” Michael says. “But Dr. McAvoy saved my life.”

Dartmouth Hitchcock Clinics neurology experts and the care they provide are nationally recognized. Maintaining that level of care and bringing it to more people requires investments in doctors, nurses, and staff. Now that patients can receive world-class neurological expertise in person or virtually, the need to expand our capacity grows with it. Philanthropy will ensure there are current and future funds to keep pace with demand and grow our renowned neurology team to help more patients in more places.

We’ve been together 54 years, and I don’t know what I would do without my husband.”

RAISES

$212 Million AND EXCEEDS CAMPAIGN GOAL

In April 2018, the Geisel School of Medicine joined Dartmouth College in its Call to Lead campaign, setting a fundraising goal of $207 million. In April 2022, the total amount raised surpassed that goal, and stands today at $212 million. The generosity of thousands of donors, making gifts large and small, led to this achievement. The money raised is supporting students, advancing research, powering innovation in healthcare delivery, and much more.

This is a moment to reflect on what’s been ac complished. The stories on the following pages highlight groundbreaking student programs and promising basic science research made possible through campaign gifts. And, it’s a time to look forward. The campaign ends in 2023 and there are still opportunities to make an impact locally and globally through gifts to Geisel:

Q&Awith Patty Sacks & Holly Andersen

By Lauren Seidman

Supporting the Healthy Students = Healthy Physicians Program

A generous gift from Patty Sacks and Doug Sacks D’80 helped launch the Healthy Students = Healthy Physicians program shortly before the COVID-19 pandemic struck in 2020. The next year, a substantial gift from Holly Andersen D’85 and Doug Hirsch D’85 bolstered the groundbreaking student mental health program. Geisel hopes to raise an additional $5.5 million to fully endow the program and ensure its long-term success. Learn more about Healthy Students = Healthy Physicians at dartgo.org/mental-health-program

Sacks: My husband and I wanted to support Dart mouth College’s Call to Lead campaign and we wanted our gift to benefit the medical school. Speaking with Geisel Dean Duane Compton and Dr. Matt Duncan, an assistant professor of psychiatry and of medical education, we identified student mental health care as a priority need. Dr. Duncan had a vision to provide Geisel students with dedicated counselors who could work around med students’ busy schedules, as well as programming to address stigma reduction and resiliency training. It was very easy to support this.

Andersen: As Dartmouth College graduates who feel grateful for our education, my husband and I also wanted to support the Call to Lead, and Healthy Students = Healthy Physicians resonated with us. We’re in a medical mental health crisis in this country and burnout—defined by extreme emotional exhaustion, high depersonalization or detachment from patients, and a low sense of personal accomplishment—is increasing among physicians of all specialties. And research has shown that unaddressed mental health needs begins for many within one year of medical school. Being a physician is an incredible profession and medical education is an amazing journey so we have to do a better job of supporting doctors-in-training throughout their progression.

Sacks: Dr. Duncan and Dean Compton had a longstanding interest in and commitment to improving medical student mental health. Generally speaking, doctors have this survival instinct and they’re reluctant to feel vulnerable, yet they suffer, just like everyone else—their suicide rate is more than double that of the general population and higher than that of any other profession. This was top of mind for Geisel leadership and they were flexible, nimble, and ready to get this program going without a lot of red tape.

Andersen: Geisel’s small size makes it easy to reach stu dents and explore innovative ideas. Piloting a program like this at Geisel, we can use student feedback—which has been amazing!—and other program data to think about how medical schools across the country can learn from our initiative. We’ve already begun to reach out to other institutions for collaboration, including mine at Weill Cornell. If we can get this right at Geisel and share what we learn and accomplish, the benefits will be felt by physicians, healthcare professionals, and the patients they serve for decades to come.

Q. What inspired you to support Healthy Students = Healthy Physicians?

Q. Why is Geisel the right place to launch such an innovative mental health program?

Sacks: It was eye-opening to have a child go through medical school. Students experience challenges with work-life balance while being exposed to suffering in others that they’ve never seen before—all in a hyper competitive environment. They were reluctant to talk about these stressors and had little access to flexible resources. It seemed to me that if they can’t take care of their own well-being, how were they going to continue on this arduous path and take care of other people?

Her husband, Doug Sacks, is a Dartmouth College graduate (D’80), and the eldest of their three daughters, Olivia Sacks, attended Dartmouth College and Geisel (D’11, MED’20).

Her husband, Doug Hirsch, also attended Dartmouth College (D’85). Photo by Nicole Pereira.

Sacks: The program could still use more full-time counselors, especially those with expertise in the issues affecting LGBTQIA students and those who are under represented in medicine. For our medical students to get effective mental health care they need counselors who look like them and are culturally similar to them, and we are committed to providing that. Ultimately, I’d love to see the program fully endowed, which would benefit our students today and the Geisel students of tomorrow.

Andersen: I’ve been a practicing cardiologist in an academic medical institution for nearly 30 years and prior to that went through a rigorous training. The culture within academic medicine is: suck it up, don’t complain, and put your patients first. We’ve learned that physicians don’t get mental health treatment because of stigma and because of the concern that an appointment won’t fit into their busy schedule. Healthy Students = Healthy Physicians is addressing this. Geisel students now have 24/7 access to mental health counseling, free of charge, and from day one of their medical school experience we’re emphasizing that taking care of their mental health is crucial for their success as a physician.

Andersen: I want and expect Healthy Students = Healthy Physicians to be on a national platform. We are building the program and perfecting it, we will evaluate it, publish our learnings, and share them with other institutions. Additional philanthropy will help Geisel continue to lead the way in shaping a new generation of physicians better equipped to take care of themselves and of their patients.

Q. What do you want people to know about medical student mental health, physician burnout, and stigma around mental health in the medical profession?

Q. What do you hope to see Healthy Students = Healthy Physicians achieve in the months and years ahead?

Gift Seeds Hope for Patients WITH CYSTIC FIBROSIS

Despite decades of research and recent advances in treatment, patients with cystic fibrosis (CF)—an inherited disorder that causes severe damage to the lungs, digestive system, and other organs in the body—continue to be chronically infected with bacteria, fungi, and viruses that cause significant lung and gastrointestinal (GI) dysfunction as well as excessive inflammation.

In addition, the complex microbiology of the CF lung and GI tract and the impact of current therapies remain poorly understood. Most research to date has examined a single species of microbes. But the majority of CF patients acquire infections from multiple sources, and very few studies have focused on developing new approaches to eliminate these “polymicrobial” infections. To treat such infections more effectively, there is a critical need for new drugs and treatment protocols, especially given antibiotic-resistant bacteria and drug-resistant fungi.

Now, a $1 million gift from John Flatley and his wife, Kate, to a team of investigators at Dartmouth’s Geisel School of Medicine will provide essential funding to develop new and more effective therapies for people with CF. “This gift to Dartmouth’s Cystic Fibrosis Research Center will jumpstart the development of new and much needed therapeutics to help patients with CF fight infections,” says Bruce Stanton, PhD, the Andrew C. Vail Professor of Microbiology and Immunology and director of the Lung Biology Center at Geisel. “John Flatley’s vision and generosity will make a difference in the lives of people with CF for generations to come.”

As essential members of Dartmouth’s CF Research Center, the research team studies all aspects of CF pathology and collaborates closely with CF clinicians at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center and Dartmouth Hitchcock Clinics. The Center, one of the most active and productive CF research programs in the country, is supported by a CF Foundation Research Development Program award, an NIH-National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) program project, and individual NIH-supported projects. However, since the NIH and the CF Foundation typically expect preliminary evidence before investing in larger initiatives, including the development of therapeutic interventions by academic scientists, the team has sought this key funding from the Flatley Foundation to support their efforts.

By Timothy Dean

“

This gift to Dartmouth’s Cystic Fibrosis Research Center will jumpstart the development of new and much needed therapeutics to help patients with CF fight infections.”

“We’re so grateful to John Flatley for his generous support of our work—philan thropy serves as a catalyst for discovery,” says Dean Madden, PhD, principal inves tigator of the NIDDK CF Research Center at Geisel and vice provost for research at Dartmouth College. “This gift will help our team members generate preliminary data and establish collaborations to un lock large research grants, serving as a force multiplier as we pursue bold ideas for improving the lives of people with CF.”

To this end, the research team will utilize complementary skills in microbiology, airway epithelial biology, biochemistry, drug discovery, and protein engineering, focusing on identifying novel therapeutic approaches to combat polymicrobial infections in three main areas—the CF respiratory tract, the GI tract, and inflammation in CF.

“Bruce Stanton and the team at Dartmouth’s Cystic Fibrosis Research Center have played key roles in discovering new medications for CF, making breakthroughs in the battle against CFrelated infections, and transforming care for people with CF,” says Flatley. “Patients are leading longer, healthier lives thanks to their work. Kate and I are honored to support them.”

“We are deeply grateful to John and Kate for this generous gift to support cystic fibrosis research here at Geisel,” says Duane Compton, PhD, dean of the Geisel School of Medicine. “Philanthropic support is vital to the success of life-saving research programs like our CF Research Center, and this gift will have a tremendous impact on many lives affected by CF.”

SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERIES Fuel Advances in Medicine

Dartmouth scientists excel at research that answers fundamental scientific questions while simultaneously laying the groundwork for important real-world applications. Beginning in 2016, a former assistant professor at Geisel named Jason McLellan, PhD, was conducting groundbreaking research on the coronavirus spike protein, the major surface protein that this type of virus uses to bind to human cells and invade them. This research laid the foundation for the COVID-19 vaccines that have saved countless lives.

McLellan credits Geisel for giving him the opportunity to be an independent investigator and pursue his dream of improving people’s lives through vaccine development. Throughout our academic medical community, researchers like McLellan are working to stop diseases such as autism and leukemia that are on the rise in children; find new and better treatments for deadly lung diseases like cystic fibrosis; overcome cancer through precision prevention and next-generation immunotherapies; and so much more.

Scientists rely on philanthropy to fund early-stage research that leads to larger grants. Your support is paving the way for more world-changing breakthroughs from Geisel investigators.

PUTTING THE HEART BACK IN Healthcare

By Lauren Seidman

Four years after participating in the inaugural session of Dartmouth Health Care Foundations (DHCF), Jaclyn Engel (center) was welcomed into the Geisel School of Medicine Class of ’26. DHCF co-leaders Manish Mishra MED’05, MPH’09 (left) and Elizabeth Carpenter-Song, PhD, D’01 (right) attended Engel’s White Coat Ceremony.

Jaclyn Engel D’19, MED’26 was pretty sure she wanted to be a doctor— she’d been saying so since fifth grade—but approaching her final year at Dartmouth College, she had some reservations. As a first-generation college student without any family connections to medicine, Engel found the career path daunting. She also wondered: Could she be the doctor she dreamed of being, one who established meaningful relationships with her patients, in today’s healthcare landscape?

A psychology major, she found a program to augment her pre-health studies the summer between her junior and senior years, when she participated in the inaugural sessions of Dartmouth Health Care Foundations (DHCF). Established through a visionary gift from Dartmouth College alumnus Eric Eichler D’57, DHCF introduces undergraduates interested in healthcare careers to the fundamental connections between the humanities and medicine. As patient loads, time constraints, and workplace bureaucracy continue to exacerbate an epidemic of

“The journey to medicine was foreign territory for me,” says Engel. “I needed to draw from outside sources.”

physician burnout, DHCF was designed to help future industry leaders put the heart back in healthcare.

“All my doubts were erased when I attended DHCF,” Engel says. “I wanted to be a doctor, and I wanted to train at Dartmouth.”

A REVOLUTIONARY APPROACH TO PREHEALTH EDUCATION

DHCF is sponsored by The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice and led by Manish Mishra MED’05, MPH’09, the director of professional education at The Dartmouth Institute and the director of the Learning Environment Office at the Geisel School of Medicine, and Elizabeth Carpenter-Song, PhD, D’01, a research associate professor of anthropology at Dartmouth. Through a suite of programs, DHCF brings together clinicians and musicians, global health leaders and rural health experts, artists, athletes, and academics. The programs offer a revolutionary, interdisciplinary approach to pre-health education that fosters compassion, creativity, and resilience—crucial skills and attributes for the next generation of healthcare leaders.

Engel describes the summer intensive in 2018 as “a very powerful experience.” Listening to Glyn Elwyn, MD, PhD, a professor of The Dartmouth Institute, talk about engaging patients in shared decision making, Engel recognized “the kind of doctor I want to be, who partners with patients to make decisions together.” She also was moved by Will Cheng, PhD, associate professor of music at Dartmouth, who drew comparisons between celebrated musicians and physicians, both of whom benefit from humility and self-reflection. Each day ended with students and program leaders gathering together at fireside chats to discuss the day’s learnings.

“I loved Dartmouth, but I always expected to have a pivotal college ex perience that, by my junior year, hadn’t happened yet,” Engel says. “After one of the DHCF fireside chats I was standing beneath the starry sky and I knew, this is my moment—this is why I’m here.”

Following the summer session, Engel was selected to join the first cohort in the Eric Eichler ’57 Fellowship for Health Care Leaders. As a fellow, Engel engaged in a service project at a long-term care facility, spending time with a woman who had dementia.

“I listened to her story and learned how to communicate and connect with someone who’s at such a vulnerable point in her life,” Engel says. She met regularly with her fellowship mentor, the Preston T. and Virginia R. Kelsey Distinguished Chair in Cancer and Dartmouth Cancer Center Director Steven Leach, MD, to talk about her volunteering experience and lessons gleaned from it. Mishra and Carpenter-Song, too, held regular office hours to mentor fellows in applying concepts and methods from the hu manities to their future work of caring for patients, supporting the health of populations, and promoting well-being for healthcare providers.

The fellows also spent time at Dart mouth’s Hood Museum of Art. “We learned how to really take in art, how to think about what a painter intended by using particular colors or brushstrokes,” says Engel. “Then we related that to paying close attention to a patient, to considering the different cultural and social factors that go into someone’s health.

“In the culture of medicine efficiency is key,” she continues, “but if you’re so focused on being efficient and don’t take time to slow down and absorb what’s in front of you, you can miss a lot.”

“

In the culture of medicine efficiency is key, but if you’re so focused on being efficient and don’t take time to slow down and absorb what’s in front of you, you can miss a lot.”

LIFELONG MENTORS AND A SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITY

After graduating from Dartmouth College, Engel remained on campus to conduct research with Glyn Elwyn, who so inspired her at the DHCF summer session, and with Amber Barnato, MD, MPH, MS, the John E. Wennberg Distinguished Professor and the director of The Dartmouth Institute. With Elwyn, she helped design decision-making aids for people with low health literacy, gaining valuable firsthand experience speaking with and advocating for patients. Barnato’s team was developing a video game for providers to encourage advance care planning conversations, and Engel assisted in testing and disseminating it. She co-authored numerous published papers about these and other studies.

This summer, Engel was welcomed to Geisel with 91 other new MD students, realizing her dream to further her medical education at Dartmouth.

“Geisel embraces the same core values championed by DHCF, which played a big part in my decision to continue my training here,” she says. “Plus I feel part of such a great, supportive community. I just love being here!”

That supportive community includes her DHCF men tors, with whom she’s formed lasting connections. “They emphasized from the beginning that they are here for us for as long as we need them and it’s true—they’re the people I call when I need career or life advice. They’ve been absolute pillars.”

And though donors like Eric Eichler may not have a regular presence on campus, Engel is grateful that they’re part of the community, too. Philanthropy funds the scholarships that are enabling Engel to thrive at Geisel; and it’s the backbone of life-changing programs like DHCF.

“I’m not ready to say for sure what specialty I’ll be going into, but having scholarship support gives me the flexibility to consider primary care, which seems like a good fit for me,” Engel says. “Thanks to DHCF and its humanistic approach to healthcare, I know how I want to practice medicine, and who I want to be as a doctor—no matter what career path I follow.”

Transforming Medical Education at DARTMOUTH

Dartmouth Health Care Foundations (DHCF) launched in late 2017 thanks to the generosity and vision of Dartmouth College alumnus Eric Eichler D’57. Growing in scope and popularity over the past five years, the multidisciplinary, multifaceted program now includes:

A weeklong summer intensive open to undergraduates from any institution.

A selective year-long fellowship for Dartmouth College students.

A monthly seminar series featuring experts in humanistic approaches to healthcare.

A for-credit Humanistic Medicine course open to Dartmouth graduate students and selected undergraduates.

A society of peers to engage in ongoing learning, professional development, and mentorship.

The son of a physician, Eichler renewed his support of DHCF in 2021. He also has made a generous donation to the Fund for the Gei sel School of Medicine at Dartmouth, which supports all aspects of a medical education at Dartmouth, from teaching and research to student scholarships.

Changing the Future of Cancer Treatments

THE LATEST FROM THE DARTMOUTH INNOVATIONS ACCELERATOR FOR CANCER

By Kelly Burch

Over the winter Arti Gaur, PhD, assistant professor of neurology at Dartmouth Cancer Center and Dartmouth’s Geisel School of Medicine, received a call from Sadiq Malik, D’00. Malik had read about Gaur’s groundbreaking work to develop a treatment for gliomas, a rare form of brain cancer. This science was personal for Malik. His wife had been diagnosed with brain cancer in her 30s and her brother had died from a glioblastoma, a type of tumor that leaves patients with an average life expectancy of just 12-18 months. Malik hadn’t realized that research about the disease that had wreaked havoc on his family was happening at his alma mater.

For Gaur, the call with Malik was heart-wrenching, but affirming, driving to the root cause of why she’s so passionate about extending life expectancy for glioma patients. “If you’re not in touch with humanity, what are we doing this for?” says Gaur. “We’re doing this to make a positive social impact. It could be one of us being treated. It could be one of us on the other end of the diagnosis, knowing where the trajectory ends.”

Today, Gaur and her team are closer to changing that trajectory, thanks in part to funding secured through the Dartmouth Innovations Accelerator for Cancer (DIAC), a partnership between Dartmouth Cancer Center and the Magnuson Center for Entrepreneurship. Gaur par ticipated in the first cohort of the accelerator and was awarded $300,000 in funding in May 2021. Over the past year she used those funds to conduct research showing that a new therapeutic compound synthesized by Glenn Micalizio, PhD, the New Hampshire Professor of Chemistry at Dartmouth, kills brain tumor cells while leaving healthy human cells intact.

While the diagnosis of malignant glioblastoma is often associated with little hope, Gaur is growing increasingly confident that her compound could change that. For the scientist whose own mother died from cancer, the significance is deeply personal.

“After a tragedy, you can give up, or use all your know ledge to design things and plan for a future where you don’t see someone else suffer,” Gaur says.

FOLLOWING THE CALL TO LEAD, BEYOND THE LAB

The Dartmouth Innovations Accelerator for Cancer was launched in 2020, through a generous donation from alumni in response to Dartmouth’s Call to Lead campaign. To date, more than $5 million in philanthropic donations have been raised to support DIAC’s mission of providing Dartmouth teams the resources they need to translate their innovations from the laboratory to the marketplace.

“DIAC brings together the best that Dartmouth has to offer, from the world-class research being conducted at the Cancer Center to the top-notch entrepreneurial program ming put together by the Magnuson Center,” says Steven Leach, MD, director of Dartmouth Cancer Center and the Preston T. and Virginia R. Kelsey Distinguished Chair in Cancer. “By supporting promising early-stage cancer innovations, we’re playing an active role in changing the future of cancer treatments and ultimately saving lives.”

Thirty-five teams have participated in DIAC as part of two cohorts. Simbex, a medical device and consumer health product development and commercialization partner based in the Upper Valley, provides the academic portion of the Accelerator, walking teams through the

“

After a tragedy, you can give up, or use all your knowledge to design things and plan for a future where you don’t see someone else suffer.”

process of biotech innovation. An external review board made up of biotech entrepreneurs and venture capitalists mentor participants, helping them think not just like scientists, but like entrepreneurs hoping to attract funding.

“The reviewers are an amazingly sophisticated group of people, and they have been impressed by the quality of the presentations and the science, as well as the breadth of the projects,” says Barry Schweitzer, PhD, D’82, associate director for strategic initiatives at the Magnuson Center.

For participants including Jiwon Lee, PhD, the Ralph and Marjorie Crump Assistant Professor of Engineering at Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth, the educational and networking opportunities that DIAC provides are invaluable. Teams learn not only how to show the scientific merit of their innovation but also how to market it to potential investors.

“The best part of participating in the accelerator is being connected with industry leaders and being able to find business mentors,” Lee says.

Lee’s team is developing an antibody engineering technology platform called B-ALIVE. The platform will allow faster development of novel therapeutic antibodies — in short, getting more potent drugs to patients who

need them in order to improve on standard treatments and potentially save lives. The team has participated in DIAC twice, securing funding to advance their idea. Lee plans to participate again next year.

“DIAC has been essential in advancing our nascent yet bold idea into an innovation,” he says.

LEVERAGING CONNECTIONS AND FUNDING TO ADVANCE TREATMENT

As they work through DIAC, Dartmouth Cancer Center innovators have the opportunity to form organic connections with biotech investors. Dozens of meetings have taken place between teams and potential investors, says Schweitzer.

Michael D. Cole, PhD, professor of molecular and systems biology at Geisel, and research associate Ed Feris are working toward developing a platform that will target MYC, a gene that plays a role in the growth of the most common cancers. MYC was identified as having a role in cancer decades ago, but researchers have been unsuccessful in targeting it.

“This has been called the most wanted targeted the rapy,” says Feris. “Every large pharmaceutical company in the world has an active MYC program.”

Jiwon Lee, PhD (left), the Ralph and Marjorie Crump Assistant Professor of Engineering at Thayer School of Engineering, and Seungmin Shin (right), post-doctoral fellow at Thayer, are developing an antibody engineering technology platform that will allow faster development of novel therapeutic antibodies.

Cole and Feris were part of the first DIAC cohort. This spring they founded a company, cosMYC. They’ve since secured significant funding from a blue-chip venture capital firm, which will pay for research over the next three years. The DIAC award enabled them to work in collaboration with the Novartis Institute for Biomedical Research, which was critical to obtaining investment.

“Our collaboration with Novartis opened the door to this funding, and we were paying for the last parts of the Novartis collaboration with the Accelerator money,” says Cole. “It’s all intertwined.”

For Gaur, the award from DIAC provided critical funding at a stage of development where there is a dearth of grant options. The research that she’s doing now shows that her compound is effective and nontoxic. That will eventually enable her to launch an investigational new drug application with the Food and Drug Administration and start phase 1 trials in humans.

“We’re collaborating with neuro-oncologists who are waiting to translate this into the clinic, and we know there are patients that would willingly sign up for this,” she says.

FIVE TEAMS RECEIVED FUNDING IN THE SECOND COHORT

In May, DIAC announced funding awards for the second cohort. Two teams were awarded $150,000 in funding each, while three were awarded $50,000 each.

A team led by Paul Robustelli, PhD, an assistant professor of chemistry at Dartmouth, is using state-of-the-art computer simulations coupled with experimental biophysical approaches to design drugs for hard-to-target proteins. Their $150,000 award will enable the researchers to expand their focus.

“The funds from DIAC allow us to immediately work on new systems, with an emphasis on developing our platform with an eye toward commercialization, as opposed to an emphasis on more basic biological and biophysical questions,” Robustelli says.

“

By supporting promising early-stage cancer innovations, we’re playing an active role in changing the future of cancer treatments and ultimately saving lives.”

— Steven Leach, MD, Dartmouth Cancer Center Director

Before DIAC, Robustelli often shaped his projects and research based on the agency that he hoped to secure funding from, like the National Institute for Health or the National Science Foundation.

“As an academic it’s easy to view your research plan from only that lens,” he says. “Through DIAC, I was able to learn about different ways that potential investors and venture capitalists might view the pros pects of different research directions. I am able to think about what a synergy between industry and academic funding could look like in my field.”

The other $150,000 award went to a team led by Karl Griswold, PhD, a professor of engineering at Thayer. Griswold’s team is working on a platform for precision protein engineering for cancer immunotherapy. Griswold will use the award for data collec tion, with plans to leverage that research to secure more funding from grants and venture capital firms, much the way that Cole and Feris did. He feels better equipped to pursue commercialization after partici pating in DIAC.

“Through regular review and feedback from organizers, reviewers, and even com petitors, we have a better understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of our technology, value proposition, and current pitch,” Griswold says. “The DIAC program is a fantastic resource for the Dartmouth community, and it is a powerful opportunity for Dartmouth researchers to hone their entrepreneurial skills through the lens of the cancer community.”

Dartmouth Cancer Center Turns 50

Founded in 1972, Dartmouth Cancer Center began as a two-story underground structure located in Hanover, N.H. Today, with multiple locations throughout New Hampshire and Vermont, Dartmouth Cancer Center earns the National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) designation recognizing exceptional, trans-disciplinary research, which underscores how the Center’s discoveries translate into promising new treatments for patients. The designation is significant, as Dartmouth Cancer Center is one of only 53 National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers in the United States, and the only one not located in an urban hub. Dartmouth Cancer Center exemplifies the NCI classification by serving patients and communities with targeted programs and services, and shares findings widely so that similar populations around the country may benefit from its learnings. Dartmouth Cancer Center uniquely provides interdisciplinary clinical care combined with basic science and cancer research. Through its partnerships with Dartmouth Health, Dartmouth’s Geisel School of Medicine, and other schools at Dartmouth, the Cancer Center has made groundbreaking advances in cancer research and care. Dartmouth Cancer Center scientists have developed nanosensors, discovered new immunotherapy treatments, and built a therapeutic epigenetic biomarker for cancer. In this age of extreme specialization and complex scientific questions, Dartmouth Cancer Center promotes interdisciplinary, trans-disciplinary, and convergence science to advance innovation. The high capacity for innovation is buoyed by constant intellectual exchange among investigators across campus.

Whether conducting a clinical trial or guiding a treatment plan, one thing that hasn’t changed in 50 years is that Dartmouth Cancer Center continues to provide world-class care close to home.

Responding TO COMMUNITY NEEDS

In 2023, Dartmouth Health will amplify its commitment to providing world-class care in the communities it serves with the opening of Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center’s (DHMC) 212,000-square-foot inpatient expansion. This Patient Pavilion will enhance Dartmouth Health’s capacity to address the increasing needs of the region’s most critically ill patients who require specialty and sub-specialty care.

The five-level expansion includes 64 state-of-the-art, singlepatient rooms located on Levels 3 and 4. Levels 2 and 5 provide space for future construction of additional patient rooms. Convenient to parking, the Level-1 entrance leads to a comfortable lobby and a welcoming chapel. Additional amenities, such as a cafe, access to outdoor gardens, a lactation room, and other conveniences, line the connecting path to existing DHMC facilities.

The Patient Pavilion also will be the new inpatient facility for DHMC’s Heart and Vascular Center. This move creates a new unit for non-surgical hospitalized heart and vascular patients while freeing space in existing DHMC facilities to expand surgical services.

“DHMC, New Hampshire’s only academic medical center, is well positioned to provide outstanding high-acuity care to the people of northern New England," says Mark Creager, MD, director of the Heart and Vascular Center at DHMC. “Ensuring that communities throughout the region have access to the care they need, close to home, is at the heart of Dartmouth Health.”

RESEARCH BRIEFS

Bringing new cancer drugs to patients

Linda T. Vahdat, MD, MBA, has been involved in the identification, conceptualization, design, and conduct of Phase 0 through III clinical trials of new therapies in high-risk and metastatic breast cancer patients since 1994. She has led three separate drug-development efforts that resulted in FDA approval of three drugs active in metastatic breast cancer.

Her research focus now is on repurposing a drug used to treat a copper storage disease as an anti-metastatic agent for breast cancer. Previous studies of this drug suggested it could prevent breast cancer from coming back, and Vahdat helped develop and conduct a clinical trial in which the drug was given to women who were at very high risk of recurrence. Building on the promising results of that trial, a new randomized Phase II clinical trial will be opening at Dartmouth Cancer Center in 2023 for almost 200 patients.

“Being located in a rural area, we’re particularly focused on our unique population of patients and their needs,” says Vahdat. “All Dartmouth Cancer Center patients are screened by their cancer specialist teams for eligibility for clinical trials.”

Linda T. Vahdat, MD, MBA, is a practicing oncologist, section chief of Medical Oncology and deputy director of Dartmouth Cancer Center, and the Milham Professor and professor of medicine at Dartmouth’s Geisel School of Medicine.

Improving care delivery for older adults

In the U.S., older adults attend more than 280 million office visits per year. The information exchanged in these visits guides the course of each person’s care, but it isn’t clear if written summaries posted on patient portals are the best way to document the visits—especially for more vulnerable patients who are trying to manage multiple comorbidities.

Paul Barr, PhD, is the principal investigator in the Dartmouthled CHRONICLE Trial (Comparing Healthcare visit Recording and Open Notes to Improve the Chronic Illness Care Experience for Older Adults). In this trial, 900 older adults (65 years of age or older) with multimorbidity will be randomized to receive clinic provider notes through the patient portal alone or notes along with visit audio recordings for all primary care visits in a six-month period.

“Visit audio recordings have emerged as another evidencebased strategy to share information. This has resulted in a decisional dilemma for patients and healthcare leaders who ask the question, ‘What is the most effective approach to communicate healthcare visit information to older adults?’” says Barr. “There is high potential for the CHRONICLE study findings to be adopted into clinical practice and transform delivery of healthcare.”

Paul Barr, PhD, is an associate professor of The Dartmouth Insti tute for Health Policy & Clinical Practice and Center for Technology & Behavioral Health at Geisel.

Understanding fatal brain diseases

Linking infant microbiome and behavioral health

Prions are infectious agents that cause fatal neurodegenerative diseases such as Creutzfeldt Jakob Disease (CJD) in humans and bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) or “Mad Cow Disease” in cows. There are currently no treatments for these diseases.

Surachai Supattapone, MD, PhD, and his research team focus on understanding the molecular mechanisms of prions. “The thing that makes prions unusual is that they’re not a virus, bacteria, or any other kind of conventional infectious agent," he says. "Instead, it’s a protein that we all have in our brains, and what happens is that the protein changes shape into a misfolded form and that’s what makes it infectious and able to replicate and destroy neurons.”

Supattapone’s lab employs a variety of advanced techniques to study prion infectivity. They were the first to produce infectious prions in a test tube using chemically defined components, and to identify specific molecules as essential partners in the protein conversion process. Their goal is to better understand what causes these proteins to adopt a new shape, why they become infectious, and what genes might regulate the transformation. Insights from the work will be potentially applicable to other neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease in the future.

Surachai Supattapone, MD, PhD, is a professor of biochemistry and cell biology and a professor of medicine at Geisel..

Previous studies have established a link between the gut microbiome and behaviors like depression, anxiety, and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. But until now, there has been little to no human data from which to characterize the role of the microbiome during infancy in relation to these outcomes in children, and how they may differ in boys and girls.

A new study led by Hannah Laue, ScD, and published in Pediatric Research has found a direct and sex-specific association between the composition of infant microbiome and early childhood behavioral health. For the study, the researchers analyzed stool samples from 260 infants at multiple timepoints—six weeks, one year, and two years. This allowed them to characterize the species of microbes present in each participant’s gut and their functions. They then used the Behavioral Assessment System for Children, an instrument that measures a wide range of clinical and adaptive behaviors in children and young adults, to assess their behavioral development.

The study team concluded that microbiome changes occur before behavioral changes. They also found that infant and early-childhood microbiomes were related to neurobehaviors such as anxiety, depression, hyperactivity, and social behaviors in a time- and sex-specific manner. Results will inform future studies into the development of probiotics or other types of interventions.

Hannah Laue, ScD, is a postdoctoral research associate at Geisel.

41ST PROUTY RAISES $5.5 Million

This year, Dartmouth Cancer Center marked its 50th anniversary—and the 41st annual Prouty in July was cause for extra celebration. Fully in person for the first time since 2019, northern New England’s largest family-friendly fundraising event smashed previous records, raising more than $5.5 million. Nearly 4,000 cyclists, walkers, rowers, golfers, and volunteers joined together to help fund pilot projects in cancer research, advance access to clinical trials, and provide vital patient and family support services such as transportation and grocery assistance as well as massage, creative arts, and support groups through Dartmouth Cancer Center’s Complementary Care Program. Patients today and those yet to come are directly served by Prouty-sponsored funding.

FUNDING GEISEL Student Scholarships

A milestone multimillion-dollar gift, to be fulfilled through a bequest, will establish an endowed scholarship fund that benefits generations of Geisel School of Medicine students. As a need-blind institution, Geisel accepts the most accomplished and promising applicants every year, without any consideration of the applicants’ ability to pay for their education. But the number of incoming students in need of financial assistance increases every year. As this endowment grows over time, so too will available scholarship funds—making a Dartmouth medical education possible for more students.

SUPPORT FOR THE Patient Pavilion

Grateful for the care their family has received at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC), Bruce and Gayle Barrington wanted to give back. This summer, they made a $250,000 donation in support of the new Patient Pavilion at DHMC. The Patient Pavilion will add to the academic medical center stateof-the-art, single-occupancy inpatient rooms— an expansion that will meet current needs, prepare for the region’s aging population, and elevate the patient and family experience. In recognition of Bruce and Gayle’s generosity and their commitment to education initiatives, the Nursing Education Center within the new pavilion will be named in their honor.

A QUARTER CENTURY OF Community Support

As soon as Jane McLaughlin and her husband, Peter McLaughlin, moved to the Upper Valley, they began giving back to their community. For more than 25 years, they’ve given generously to a number of causes throughout Dartmouth Health and Geisel, with a special focus on global cancer education and research, and on child health. They ride every summer in the Prouty in memory of Jane’s mother, Carol Kitchel, and lead three top fundraising teams to help raise money for research and patient services at Dartmouth Cancer Center. They also regularly participate in the CHaD HERO, the premier fundraising event for Dartmouth Health Children’s and Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center.

Helping Patients WITH HEARING LOSS

Lois Watson and her late husband, Harvey, began supporting Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center more than three decades ago, directing much of their generosity to the Heart & Vascular Center. This year, Lois wanted to help in another way. She’d recently started wearing hearing aids and was struck by what a difference they made in her life. Grateful for the care she received from DHMC’s audiology team, she donated $50,000 to help improve the lives of other people in the region with hearing loss. The funds will support audiology equipment, education, research, improved patient screening, and community outreach.

After losing his wife, Crinny, and son, Jay, to cancer, John Niles gave Dartmouth Cancer Center $250,000 for metastasis research. His gift funded a unique opportunity for Mary Jo Turk, professor of microbiology and immunology and co-director of the Immunology and Cancer Immunotherapy Program. After several years of research studying immunity to metastatic cancer within lymph nodes, Turk and her team published a peerreviewed paper presenting a novel discovery—a new population of T cells vital for counteracting the earliest stages of cancer metastasis. Upon receiving the study, Niles committed another $100,000 to Turk’s lab, which attracts students and faculty collaborators from across the world.

UNDERSTANDING AND ADDRESSING Health Inequity

Members of the Dartmouth College Class of 1974 noticed a devastating trend: Their Black classmates were dying at 2.3 times the rate of their non-Black classmates. Further analysis revealed a similar disparity for each Dartmouth class graduating between 1973 and 1977. In honor of their 50th reunion and in memory of the Black classmates they lost too soon, the class established the Dartmouth Class of 1974 Commemorative Health Equity Fund. Under the auspices of The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy & Clinical Practice and the Geisel School of Medicine, this Fund will support undergraduate study and research directed toward ending racial health disparities with the Health Equity and Advocacy Lab (HEAL).

lifesaving technologies

The Dartmouth medical community has a long tradition of moving research through the commercialization pipeline and transforming ideas into tools and treatments for patients. One example of this is the Dartmouth Innovations Accelerator for Cancer, which is in its third successful year of providing Dartmouth teams with the resources they need to translate their innovations from the laboratory to the marketplace.

Capitalizing on the Dartmouth entrepreneurial ecosystem and our deep connections with researchers throughout Dartmouth Health and Dartmouth College, we are excited to announce the launch of a new Geisel Innovations Accelerator for Health Improvement. This visionary initiative promises to expedite the development of digital health tools and devices that will help reduce the risks associated with a broad range of health conditions—and enable people to lead healthier lives.

Geisel is a medical school that embraces the acceleration of discovery and strives to improve the health and healthcare of people around the corner and around the world. We are able to do this thanks to generous support from the entire Dartmouth medical community— from local residents and regional businesses to Dartmouth College alumni and parents.

Our discoveries are making a difference and saving lives. Please join us as we expand our reach.

To learn more, contact Jon Fitzgerald at Jon.M.Fitzgerald@dartmouth.edu or at (603) 646-5235.
