Background and Purpose
Established in 2017, the mission of the BCH Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Anti-Racism (DEI/AR) Council is to build an institution that is rooted in justice and equity to nurture an inclusive culture and to cultivate and implement effective strategies for the just and equitable provision of education, discovery, and patient care. Our vision is to build an empathetic, supportive and equitable environment for the present and future UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals community.
The project goal is to implement a DEI/AR project that brings intention, thoughtfulness, and a structured approach to achieve equity and inclusion in an environment that lacked the infrastructure where DEI/AR-related efforts could be scaled and maximized across the entire organization.
