Office for Diversity and Inclusion

Our Commitment

The Office for Diversity and Inclusion (ODI) is a System-wide entity charged to support the Mount Sinai Health System (MSHS) in embracing the principles of diversity and inclusion as key drivers for excellence and innovation for unrivaled healthcare service delivery, medical and health education, and research.

We are proud that the MSHS is at the national and global forefront of healthcare providers who understand and acknowledge the value diversity brings to an organization.
