Dr. Jessi Gold is excited to announce her involvement with TIME’S UP Healthcare, a non-profit organization that insists on safe, fair, and dignified work for women in healthcare. With the support of its parent affiliate TIME’S UP, TIME’S UP Healthcare was created to raise awareness about gender inequity, discrimination, and sexual harassment across healthcare workplaces. As a founder and steering committee member, Dr. Gold has been involved since inception, focusing her efforts on media, including social media and outreach for the organization.
“Time’s Up is [about] everyone coming together in a vocal and visible way and saying this isn’t something we’re okay with anymore. We shouldn’t ever have been okay with it, but this isn’t something we’re going to keep doing,” says Dr. Gold, who is now a steering committee member.
