Our Mission To support MSHS in embracing the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion as key drivers for excellence and innovation for unrivaled healthcare delivery, medical and health education, and research.

Our Vision To uphold, anchor, and operationalize equity by embracing new methods of thinking and emphasizing fairness to ultimately empower and uplift vulnerable and marginalized communities in all that we do and seek to achieve.

What We Do We serve as consultants and subject matter experts to recommend and establish best practices in DEI management. We advise on policies, procedures, and practices and provide education to engage the organization in cultural effectiveness, promote anti-racist behaviors, address inequities, and enhance the patient experience for all.

  • Patricia S. Levinson Center for Multicultural and Community Affairs (CMCA) CMCA supports students and faculty from backgrounds underserved in science and medicine to advance diversity at all levels within the medical and graduate schools. CMCA staff directs innovative and coordinated approaches through educational pathway programs, diversity affairs, school-wide diversity initiatives, and training and education programs focused on the intersection of​ medicine, science, and social justice through an urban health lens.

  • Center for Excellence in Youth Education (CEYE) CEYE operates a range of school-year and summer programs geared to youth from disadvantaged backgrounds. CEYE staff develop and maintain exclusive partnerships with surrounding schools and departments to help more than 200 students each year from grade seven through college prepare for careers in science and healthcare.

  • Diversity Innovation Hub (DiH) Launched in October 2019, the DiH was formed to partner with local community, health and technology experts to address disparities in health and health care. DiH consists of several design teams (students, trainees, staff, community leaders, and stakeholders), which help to identify challenges, formulate new ideas, find resources, and explore new investments to advance health care. The DiH organizes regular meetups for the healthcare and innovation community.
