Accountable to EDI is a recurring feature in Network News that highlights opportunities and initiatives related to equity, diversity, and inclusion efforts at AHP, the UR Medicine system, and within the community at large.

February is Black History Month! Each year, the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH) establishes a theme for Black History Month. This year’s theme is Black Resistance and is meant to raise awareness of the people, activities, and institutions that, in the face of oppression, contributed to the advancement of African Americans. AHP is committed to equity, diversity, and inclusion efforts and encourages network members to participate in EDI activities in our community.
