MIAMI BEACH, Fla., April 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Antisemitism, described as “the world’s oldest disease,” is now infecting our healthcare system at an alarming rate. Reports of discrimination, bias, and even threats against Jewish patients and healthcare professionals have raised a Code Blue among healthcare professionals and legislators.
“When we see healthcare workers openly admit on video to harming Jewish patients, the world should take notice,” said Miami Beach City Commissioner David Suarez. “Antisemitism in healthcare is a direct threat to patient safety, and it must be confronted head-on.”
To confront this crisis, leading healthcare executives, policymakers, and medical professionals will convene at the prestigious La Gorce Country Club in Miami Beach on April 27, 2025, for “Healing Hate: Diagnosing & Treating Antisemitism in Healthcare.”
“This isn’t just about fighting hate—it’s about upholding the fundamental ethics of medicine,” says Mary Mayhew, President and CEO of the Florida Hospital Association. “A hospital should be a safe space from discrimination.”
Among the distinguished speakers:
– Gino R. Santorio, President and CEO, Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach
– David Suarez, Miami Beach City Commissioner
– Peggy Shapiro, Executive Director, Center for Combating Antisemitism
– Sheri Ross, MD, Director of Medical Outreach, Center for Combating Antisemitism
“Physicians take an oath to do no harm, yet we see antisemitic rhetoric and behavior infecting medical spaces,” says Dr. Sheri Ross. “This event is about diagnosing the problem and prescribing real solutions.”
