OHACE
Our Mission
Strengthening connections across our institution and communities to support equitable environments where people work, learn, receive care, and belong.
Our vision is for a more diverse workforce and student body with opportunities for everyone to achieve their full potential in an inclusive environment with a strong sense of belonging.
Health Advancement and Community Engagement
The Office of Health Advancement and Community Engagement strengthens connections across learners, trainees, the workforce, patients, families, and communities. Through this work, we help advance equitable access to education and care, support research discovery, and foster workforce development.
Guided by a commitment to respect and belonging, we support a welcoming environment where people across all backgrounds and lived experiences can contribute, thrive, and promote healthier communities.
Advancing Student Representation and Belonging
Strengthening Workforce Readiness
As the nation’s demographics continue to change, we must keep pace by strengthening workforce readiness across the continuum from learner to trainee to employee.
A workforce made up of people with a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives stimulates creativity, increases productivity, and improves problem-solving capabilities. Preparing this workforce can support new research and discoveries that respond to communities with limited access to care, resources, and opportunity.
We are committed to attracting and retaining a talented workforce, including senior leaders, who reflect the changing demographics of our nation. Expanding the range of experience, expertise, and innovation within our leadership team promotes inclusive decision-making and organizational growth.
These experiences and perspectives foster deeper insight, understanding, and engagement, supporting academic and organizational success across all levels of the institution.
