Eaton has worked at TouroCOM for several years, serving in roles such as the founding member of the TouroCOM Harlem Community Advisory Board, where he currently serves as its co-chair. The board works to raise money for scholarships for underrepresented minorities at the medical school.

“We are so pleased and lucky to have someone of Geoff’s experience and talent join our team,” said Dr. David Forstein, dean of TouroCOM Harlem.  “He has been an invaluable friend and brings a world of experience to this position. He will help us serve the community by interfacing with local boards and organizations, such as One Hundred Black Men, which meet regularly at TouroCOM.”

Outside of TouroCOM, Eaton has been involved in the Harlem community, serving as the inaugural vice president of the New York State Conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and as chief of staff for former Harlem Congressman Charles B. Rangel.

“I am delighted to be able to continue to carry out Touro’s mission and goals of improving the health of Harlem’s residents by fostering more community and student engagement and increasing enrollment of underrepresented minorities in medicine and pharmacy,” Eaton said.
