Working to build health and social equity in Indigenous, local and global communities.
Our commitment is to collaborate with communities in vulnerable settings to address the barriers that create social and health disparities; and through this engagement foster solutions that change inequitable conditions, systems and policies to shape the future of health. To achieve our mission and vision, we work with the following communities:
Models of Community Engagement
We work to elevate and include diverse community voices in setting priorities in research, education, innovation and clinical practice. We will be responsive to the community and partner driven priorities through meaningful and reciprocal engagement that reflects humility, respect, collaboration and long-term commitment.
