  • We maintain a climate of respect for all patients and their families, our students, trainees, faculty and staff.

  • We provide personalized medicine where our patient-centered approach delivers equitable care.

  • We are committed to minimizing health disparities, exploring social determinants of health, and improving equitable healthcare delivery for all patients.

  • We engage our faculty, staff, patients, and community in inclusive clinical, educational, and research activities to support all patients. 

  • In our interaction with our patients, we have implemented practices that are person-centric and avoid the use of stereotypes.
