Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

CCHS is committed to a collaborative and equitable community that values and fosters diversity and inclusion.

CCHS recognizes the importance of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) in accomplishing our mission of: “Improving and promoting the health of individuals and communities in rural Alabama and the Southeast region through leadership in medical and health-related education, primary care and population health; the provision of high quality, accessible health care services; and research and scholarship.” We embrace The University of Alabama’s core values of “respect and a culture of inclusivity” and the UA Strategic Plan goal to “enrich our learning environment by providing an accepting, inclusive community that attracts and supports a diversity faculty, staff and student body.” For more information, please get in touch with us at cchsdei@ua.edu or visit the UA DEI Office website.
