EID Ambassadors

EID Ambassadors are physicians or staff members with a commitment to equity, inclusion, and diversity. They educate colleagues on current events and promote opportunities for engagement. They also identify opportunities to deliver more equitable, inclusive patient care and workplace policies to foster change.
