A thriving beloved community rooted in health, equity, and belonging for all.

Mission

Our goal is to build a welcoming and inclusive community where everyone feels they belong. We are committed to learning throughout life and to health equity so that everyone has the opportunity to be as healthy as possible. We celebrate diversity and work together to create a space where people can be themselves, heal, share, and grow through connection, science, and support.

Our Principles

• Health Equity: Ensuring everyone has the best chance to be healthy by addressing barriers to care, which can shorten lives and increase public health costs.
• Diversity: Embracing and understanding differences strengthens our community, makes our organization more resilient, and improves quality outcomes for all patient groups.
• Inclusion and Belonging: Valuing everyone's unique contributions and ensuring everyone can succeed.
