In 2008 Johns Hopkins Medicine adopted Diversity & Inclusion 2020, a multiyear strategic plan that sets forth concrete goals for our efforts and lays out steps to achieve them. Our overriding objective is no less than to be recognized by peer institutions, patients and the community as a leading model for diversity and inclusion. We’ve identified targeted goals to achieve that vision.
