Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging
Belonging at Munroe-Meyer Institute
It's not just the key to DEI, it’s also the key to inclusive health for patients and their families. Belonging helps foster respect and appreciation for differences which can lead to better decision-making at all levels within MMI.
MMI works collaboratively systemwide with faculty, staff, students and stakeholders to create an overarching diversity framework aimed at connecting diversity, inclusion and belonging to areas of recruitment, retention, research, education, clinical services and community engagement.
A sense of belonging is what unlocks the power and value of diversity and inclusion.
