Access & Opportunity for All

We’re committed to uplifting everyone by recognizing and respecting the individuality of our patients. Through self-reflection and lifelong learning, we work to recognize the various influences that, through understanding, allow us to provide better care. We emphasize building genuine, respectful relationships and learning from the unique and personal perspectives of those we serve. This enables us to deliver personalized, effective care that embodies our mission of care for all.

Effective communication is essential to delivering high-quality, compassionate health care. Our professional medical and sign language interpreters play a vital role in bridging communication between patients, families and providers to ensure language isn’t a barrier to excellent care.

We’re committed to offering medical care to all people to ensure their personal, physical and mental health and well-being. As a partner with our patients and the communities we serve, we work to improve health through a welcoming environment and respectful care where each patient can be their best self.

We embrace the vast differences in life experiences and individual world views of our teammates, clinicians, faculty and students. Our approach is not only a foundational part of our culture, but also a competitive advantage that allows us to provide excellent care to all whose lives we touch.

We’re intentional in creating an environment of belonging where our teammates have opportunities to come together based on common identities, experiences, backgrounds and interests. 

We’re committed to fostering the growth and development of our teammates through mentorship and sponsorship programs, administrative fellowships, internships and career development pathways.

Our teammates have opportunities to learn in a variety of ways, including conferences, certificate programs, instructor-led leadership development courses, guided courageous conversations, self-paced digital learning and more.

We’re committed to creating an engaging learning environment that fosters opportunity. Experiences are grounded in best practices with a focus on driving positive impact for everyone.

We’re committed to strengthening and expanding partnerships that build sustainable collaborations with internal and external partners. Our focus includes fostering faculty and staff retention while advancing shared commitments in all areas of academia to enhance fairness, access and opportunities for all.

We’re committed to scholarship that creates, contributes to and disseminates informal and formal research that advances access and opportunities for all.

We’re committed to improving the overall health and well-being of the communities we serve. Our teammates play a critical role in partnering with our communities to address factors that impact health and well-being.

We’re committed to ensuring everyone has a seat at the table. This is key to innovation, strengthens our communities, fuels economic mobility and improves the well-being of businesses and their employees. By partnering with our communities, we ensure all suppliers are given equal access to participate in procurement opportunities.
