Office of Health Equity and Inclusion

Create a culture of belonging with us.

The Office for Health Equity and Inclusion (OHEI) at Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine and Geisinger College of Health Sciences is committed to fostering a fair and welcoming environment for students, faculty, staff and community members. Creating a culture of belonging means embracing and celebrating the differences that strengthen our community. Our efforts are aimed at implementing practices that welcome and honor the unique identity and perspective of every person.

Flags

Visitors to our Medical Sciences Building are immediately impressed by our flags! Hanging in the sunlit space of the lobby, the flags represent almost every country in the world. So many people entering the building take time each day to “find their flag.” Geisinger College of Health Sciences takes pride in representing the cultural identities and family heritages of everyone in our community. In partnership with our facilities operations, the Office for Health Equity and Inclusion curates and maintains this initiative honoring the vibrant tapestry of our college and local communities.
