Diversity and Inclusion
Message from Diversity Champion
"Our ultimate goal should be health equity, with each and every patient, family, and community able to achieve their ideal state of health through fair, just, and optimized care to meet their individual and collective needs. But we cannot achieve health equity without first addressing racism. So, if you are looking at disparate outcomes in your own institution, life, or practice, then look no further than racism for your marching orders."
- Dr. Paige Perriello, Charlottesville, VA-AAP Central Delegate-at-Large
