We would like to invite any member of the UCSF community who is interested in clinical health equity at UCSF, VA, ZSFG, MB, or Mt. Zion to join our group of volunteers to help us address health and health care disparities throughout UCSF and its affiliates. There are opportunities to work on efforts involving data analytics and metrics, language and low English proficiency, patient experience, building an inclusive environment, and targeted health disparities. If you are interested in joining any of these efforts, please respond here. Thank you in advance for your time and interest in moving this project forward!
