In the wake of natural disasters like Hurricane Helene, there is belief in the power of human connection to heal and rebuild. Dr. Wesley Burks, Dean of the UNC School of Medicine, Vice Chancellor for Medical Affairs and CEO of UNC Health shared this message of support, hope and resilience to teammates across UNC Health.
