维维安·托马斯多样性基金 was established to increase diversity at 约翰霍普金斯大学医学院, thus honoring the memory of a heart surgery pioneer by removing for others the economic and racial barriers that often stood in his way. 

大萧条剥夺了他成为医生的机会, and initially denied the recognition he deserved for his work by old racial prejudices, 费雯·托马斯证明了这个天才, 坚持和能力可以超越人为强加的限制. His story now has been immortalized in the HBO film "Something the Lord Made,在国家杂志获奖的同名文章中, 以及美国公共广播公司的纪录片“心脏的伙伴”."

在约翰霍普金斯大学，很少使用“突破”这个词.  But Vivien Thomas was a pivotal player in the development of a true breakthrough at The Johns Hopkins Hospital just 60 years ago. Working with surgeon Alfred Blalock and pediatric cardiologist Helen Taussig, Thomas was part of a team that devised a means to correct a congenital heart defect known as Tetralogy of Fallot, or Blue Baby syndrome.

在此之前，心脏手术是禁止手术的. Now, heart surgery is so common that in 2001 alone, 6 million patients had heart procedures. 推荐十大正规网赌平台在手术后几天就出院了. Imaging techniques developed because of heart surgery make it possible to reach the heart and correct many defects without even opening the chest. It’s hard to believe the number of changes that can be traced to a courageous team.

在霍普金斯大学，人们对发现和治疗的热情并没有改变, 维维安·托马斯会很高兴知道有些事情已经改变了.

在20世纪40年代，不仅心脏手术被认为是禁忌, 但当时的社会体制要求种族之间有明确的区分. Thomas’s intelligence and dexterity won him the position of Blalock’s lab technician, but it took more than 25 years before Thomas was credited publicly for his role in devising the Blue Baby surgery. 1976年，约翰霍普金斯大学授予他荣誉博士学位. Today, his portrait hangs in the lobby of the Blalock Building at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, 阿尔弗雷德·布莱洛克的画像对面.

That Hopkins is no longer a southern institution in a southern city is shown by statistics. In 2004, 我们医学院超过11%的学生是黑人, 还有60多名全职教师, 包括外科医生李维·沃特金斯等明星, Ben Carson, Edward Cornwell, 以及教育副院长大卫·尼科尔斯.

Just as we’re continuing to push forward in treating heart disorders -- even using stem cells to replace damaged heart muscles -- we’re not stopping where we are with diversity. 我们决心在约翰霍普金斯医学院为所有人提供更好的机会. That’s the best tribute we can make to the remarkable story of Vivien Thomas. 用维维安·托马斯基金的收入, Hopkins is committed to reaching out aggressively to groups now considered under-represented minorities to ensure the broadest possible talent pool in academic medicine and biomedical science. Our mission requires excellence, and there can be no excellence without diversity.
