One of OHE's goals is to enhance the coordination and collaboration of new and existing health equity efforts across the VUMC enterprise. Other equity-focused offices at VUMC promote diversity and equity for VUMC staff, faculty, students, patients and families. OHE, however, will focus on improving the well-being of broader populations across VUMC, Nashville and beyond.
OHE will collaborate with offices such as, the VUMC Office of Diversity and Inclusion and the Office of Inclusion and Health Equity, among others. By working together, we can create more opportunities for everyone to be healthy.
