Morehouse School of Medicine Hires Jackson Spalding
Firm named Agency of Record
ATLANTA (January 26, 2010) – Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM), one of the nation’s foremost community based medical schools, has engaged Jackson Spalding to support its public relations and internal and external communications efforts.
“We chose Jackson Spalding to help make sure all of our communications support our long-term vision and reflect current best practices for institutions like ours,” said Sally Davis, MSM’s Vice President for Institutional Advancement and Marketing and Communications. “They came highly recommended.”
Jackson Spalding’s team has already begun helping the school with media relations, including intensive campaigns around the nomination of U.S. Surgeon General (and MSM alumna) Dr. Regina Benjamin and a national health disparities conference co-hosted by MSM in Atlanta in December.
“Morehouse School of Medicine’s mission to create a more diverse health care workforce and address health issues that disproportionately impact underserved communities could not be more relevant right now,” noted Jackson Spalding co-founder Bo Spalding. “We are so proud to be supporting that mission and to call Morehouse School of Medicine a client.”
