Getting to Know the New Foundation President

Gretchen Henkel  |  Issue: January 2024  |  December 9, 2023

The other issue is access to money. It is a strong goal of mine to raise absolutely as much money as feasibly possible over the next couple of years. Basically, the more money we raise, the more fellows we can support, the more medical students we can bring to ACR Convergence, the more active outreach we can do to ensure diversity among the doctors and researchers we’re training to take care of our patients. In short, the more money we raise, the more we can do. We can have a big impact, so every donor makes a huge difference. And we need to keep innovating, and to do that we need to make sure we grow our donor pool.

TR: You’ve said that you’re a very positive person. Is there something else you would like our ACR/ARP members to know about you?

Dr. Fraenkel: My second favorite thing after volunteering for the Foundation is having people visit us in the Berkshires. We have four paddleboards and two kayaks in the garage. And after an active day, life doesn’t get better than sitting on a beautiful expansive lawn and listening to the Boston Symphony Orchestra (wine is allowed!). We welcome the chance to take people around and show off the beautiful area we live in!
