Black Lives Matter.
We stand in Solidarity against Racism.
And we are committed to equity in Health Care.
The Diversity Innovation Hub was founded
amidst the backdrop of a global pandemic as
the discussions of race, diversity and inclusion
were reignited, reexamined, and reinvigorated.
We strive to invest in health innovations that
adequately address social determinants
of health for underrepresented populations,
while increasing the capacity of minority
and women entrepreneurs.
