Launched in the Fall of 2020, United Against Racism exemplifies the power of systemwide collaboration and is an important part of how we are transforming Mass General Brigham to become the integrated academic healthcare system of the future, with patients at the center. Individuals and teams across every member organization, department, and job function play an instrumental role in advancing this work.
Our priority areas
Our efforts are organized around three pillars: our workforce, patient care, and community health.
Workforce
Working collectively, we are taking action across the system to ensure that we create systems that support the professional growth and success of all employees and create an environment that is welcoming to our entire community. To be a global leader in healthcare, it is essential that our workforce reflects the patients we serve and offers a variety of perspectives in a welcomed environment.
A workforce with a broad range of skills, experiences, and perspectives is best positioned to innovate, create solutions, and provide the highest quality care to all our patients. This enables us to deliver higher quality care with better patient outcomes, and we are learning as we go. Learn more about this work, led by the Office of Workforce Enrichment.
Patient Care
For Every Patient is Mass General Brigham’s unified quality strategy that seeks to achieve the best possible outcomes for every patient who needs us, every time they need us. Now more than ever, patients need high-quality, personalized care rooted in equity. Across Mass General Brigham, our academic medical centers, community hospitals and clinical care sites work together to elevate our commitment to quality in ways that are proven to make the biggest difference in the lives of the patients we serve.

Community Health
Through our integrated community health strategy, we are expanding and building strong relationships with community members, local leaders, and community-based organizations to advance our efforts to improve access to high-quality, personalized care and improve health outcomes. We aim to meet people where they are, offering screenings and interventions for chronic health conditions like hypertension, cancer, and substance use disorder. Our innovative solutions like our Community Care Vans that offer mobile medical services, and our state-of-the-art teaching kitchens that increase access to healthy, affordable, and nutritious food are expanding access to core services and that improve the health of communities we serve.
