The Michigan Medicine DEI 2.0 Strategic Plan, launched in Fall 2023, serves as a roadmap for achieving structural change for equity from 2023 to 2028. It is designed to foster a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive campus community by aligning Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) efforts with comprehensive Health Equity goals. The plan builds upon previous DEI achievements and is structured around three core objectives: People (recruiting, retaining, and developing diverse community), Process (creating inclusive and equitable policies, practices, and procedures), and Products (supporting innovative and inclusive teaching, scholarship, research, and service). It integrates the American Hospital Association's Health Equity Road Map, focusing on six levers of transformation including culturally appropriate patient care, equitable organizational policies, data-driven action, community collaboration, diverse representation and leadership, and civic and shared accountability. Key priorities derived from community feedback include managing burnout and fatigue, fostering inclusive communications, equipping managers and leaders, and transforming systems to promote broad institutional access and a cultural shift towards equity.
