We're grateful to announce a transformational $10 million gift from the Robert and Lynda Carter Altman Family Foundation. This gift establishes The Robert A. Altman Center for Surgical Education at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital.
Award-winning actress, singer-songwriter, and advocate Lynda Carter (@reallyndacarter ) created the foundation in honor of her late husband Robert A. Altman.
Dr. Patrick Jackson, chief of the hospital’s Division of General Surgery, will lead the program as our system’s first-ever endowed chair. This philanthropic support will expand access to hands-on training in complex, cutting-edge techniques and build surgical capacity at hospitals and clinics that care for Washington, D.C. area patients.
“Thanks to Lynda and Robert’s transformational commitment to advancing surgical expertise, lives will be saved, families will get more time together, and we will improve health throughout the Washington, D.C., region,” said our President and CEO Kenneth A. Samet. “This is the work of real-life superheroes.”

Today I am grateful to be the mother of my two children, Jessica Carter Altman and James Clifford Altman. They were born out of the love I had for their late father Robert Altman.
I’ve always agreed with Rob‘s mother Sophie when she said “‘Mother’ is the greatest name I’ve ever been called.”
Thank you Jessica and Jamie. It was always a proud thrill knowing I was your Mama, as I’ve watched you grow into fine adults.
Your mom,
Lynda
Wonder Woman has been a symbol of strength and possibility for generations. Fifty years ago, on April 21, 1976, "Wonder Woman" made its television debut as a series on ABC.
This #WomensHistoryMonth we celebrated the historic anniversary with Lynda Carter, a member of our advisory council, and Patty Jenkins, director of the latest Wonder Woman movies.
💫 What's one thing #WonderWoman taught you?
Reposting @repdingell : Debbie tells it like it is! We have fought this fight forever. From fat shaming, to workplace bullying, controlling partners, and men’s mid life crises. We are exhausted.
This isn’t just about men in Congress. It is about feeling unsafe, and no one listening to you. I think the point is much bigger and systemic.
It’s about not being listened to. Being dismissed. Because you are female. Young or teen or adult or widowed.
How kind and aware he is. Instead of easy silence as they suffered… He is one human who I’d like to know. No silent complicity for him.

The cherry blossoms and the dogwoods, were my wonderful husband’s favorite trees with their songs of spring! You see, they always bring the birds! And now I’m putting the bird feeders to work.. filling them to the brim!
