• Be cognizant of the strategic goals and vision of the KUMC DEI Cabinet and its connection to the overall surrounding Kansas and Missouri communities.
• Incorporate global consciousness into your daily decision making to advance the wellbeing of all members of your communities.

Best Practices For Institutional Accountability:

• Address and reduce health inequities through:
  • Partnerships with internal and community stakeholders committed to social justice.
  • Invest in strategic partnerships throughout our surrounding communities to develop leaders and citizens who will continue to strive for excellence and push the boundaries of discovery.
• Incorporate the strategic goals and vision of the KUMC DEI Cabinet within your teams and department initiatives.

Things to Avoid:
