“Be a great organization, diverse in people and ideas” is the first goal in our strategic plan, Vision 2020, and it is an integral part of OHSU’s culture of excellence. Embracing difference and supporting diversity gives us the ability to be better at what we do and to demonstrate integrity, compassion and leadership in healing, teaching, research and community service.

Hear how members of the OHSU community value equity and inclusion, and are working toward increased engagement and culture change.
