Through shared values of respect, accountability, and cultural humility, as well as our commitment to DEIJ initiatives, we strive to create greater cohesion across our college to deliver and promote the health and well-being of the communities we serve.

We recognize the importance of DEIJ principles, both in our community and in the ways in which we approach health and well-being.
