Diversity is the aspect of our humanity that makes us unique and valuable. We all bring diversity of thought, lived experience and outlook to every situation in ways that are sometimes visible, but frequently are not. We are striving to create a clinical and academic environment that not only celebrates this diversity but also recognizes the necessity of diversity in achieving excellence in our Learning Healthcare System. ~ Kristen Gill Hairston, MD, MPH |
