BIDMC has a rich history of commitment to openness and non-discrimination. Service to community is at the core and an important part of our mission; we have a covenant to care for the underserved and to work to change disparities in access to care. Today, we're proud to continue this legacy with a number of programs and initiatives aimed at fostering inclusion and diversity among our faculty, staff, trainees, and patients.
