It was previously known as the Department of Marketing and Public Relations (c.1994-99) and before that the Office of Public Relations. It publishes "Progress" (1989-Present), which evolved from the "Friday Report" (1970-89), and "GW Health and Medicine magazine" (1965-Present). The Director of Medical Center Public Relations reports to the Director of the Medical Center. The office also maintains publicity files on staff and faculty.
