RICHMOND, VA; August 25, 2025 – Do No Harm is pleased to announce that a Philadelphia-area physician directory, formerly known as the Black Doctors Directory, is now the Community Health and Wellness Directory. Ability to participate in the Community Health and Wellness Directory is not determined on the basis of race.

This after Do No Harm sued Penn Medicine, the Consortium of DEI Health Educators, and WURD Radio alleging that the directory excluded doctors based on race. Do No Harm argued that the directory should be open to all, including doctors of all races who treat black patients and work to improve their health. That litigation will now end.

“We are grateful that the directory is open to physicians of all races,” said Stanley Goldfarb, MD, Chairman of Do No Harm. “Do No Harm has long opposed ‘racial concordance,’ a thoroughly debunked theory that only breeds suspicion and prejudice. When medical providers prioritize expertise and high-quality care, patients will see better health outcomes.”

Do No Harm, established in April 2022, has rapidly gained recognition and made significant strides in its mission to safeguard healthcare from ideological threats. It has over 30,000 members, including doctors, nurses, physicians, and concerned citizens across all 50 states and 14 countries.
