Equal Opportunity: We are committed to providing equal opportunities to everyone, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability, age, or any characteristic protected by law.
Respect and Inclusion: We celebrate the diversity of our community and are dedicated to creating a culture where everyone feels respected, included, and supported. Every voice matters and deserves to be heard.
Non-Discrimination: Discrimination has no place in our department. We stand firmly against any form of discrimination based on personal characteristics or identity.
LGBTQ+ Affirming Providers: Our team includes LGBTQ+ affirming providers who are dedicated to offering compassionate and inclusive care, ensuring that LGBTQ+ individuals receive respect and affirmation in every aspect of their medical care.
Accessibility: We strive to make all resources and services accessible to everyone, including those with visible and invisible disabilities, ensuring no one is left behind.
Resources and Education: We encourage our community to explore the wide range of resources, programs, and support systems provided by the University of Pittsburgh and UPMC to enhance understanding, empathy, and inclusivity.
By embracing these principles, we aim to build an inclusive and diverse department where everyone can thrive.
