Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Statement

All members of the VCU Health community prioritize individual dignity and strive to promote a culture of diversity, inclusivity, and equity in a supportive patient care, learning, research, and work environment.  

Every VCU Health patient and their family, as well as our team members and learners, deserve to be treated with respect, dignity, and professionalism. 

We are committed to creating a community that recognizes and embraces. We will not tolerate or condone discrimination.  

We are also committed to delivering health care in a manner that respects diversity and inclusivity with the full intent of ensuring an optimal patient experience and achieving better health outcomes for all.  

We will actively work to dismantle systemic racism and inequalities that may be entrenched in our health system.  

Our commitment is relentless and we seek to be faithful to it in all our actions. We will fearlessly accept criticism and continuously learn from our mistakes with transparency and humility throughout this journey. Together, we will make VCU Health a better place, be a stronger community partner, and earn the trust of all.
