The Medicine Healthcare Equity initiative began in the fall of 2016, when a multi-disciplinary committee of clinicians, faculty, administrators, students and system leaders came together to develop a set of objectives, strategies and tactics to advance healthcare equity for all patients regardless of race, ethnicity, language, religion, age, spiritual practice, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, socioeconomic class and mental or physical status.  In 2017, the committee created a multi-year Healthcare Equity Blueprint to guide UW Medicine through the journey to improve healthcare equity.
