About Our Office

Leading the charge for a better New Mexico

The HSC Office for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion is committed to building a diverse, equitable and inclusive environment through shared vision and responsibility. We serve as an integrating force to create a more inclusive community drawing upon the rich cultures throughout New Mexico and globally to stimulate new ideas and advance inclusive excellence through our diverse backgrounds, life experiences, and perspectives. We stand against systemic racism and advocate for social justice as we continuously strive to advance our mission in support of the greater community.

We are committed to growing New Mexico’s diverse health care workforce in partnership with communities across New Mexico to create sustainable K-20, STEM-H educational health careers opportunities for the diverse youth of New Mexico.

We organize a variety of community engagement and collective impact initiatives designed to encourage innovation and transformation in collaboration with local, state, and national entities to address key health, economic and educational inequities. Our collective impact framework guides the implementation of initiatives to realize systemic change by leveraging the skills and capacities of community stakeholders. The strength of collective impact comes from addressing inequities through consensus among diverse stakeholders to address critical issues.

Whether you are a member of the UNM Health Sciences Center, or a community member, we are committed to serving you in all diversity, equity, and inclusion matters. Learn more about our history at UNM HSC.
