Our Work

Our work seeks to address systemic racial and hierarchical power imbalances by encouraging understanding, compassion, and respect of the healthcare experiences of all patients and equity-deserving communities.

Our Approach

Taking a human-centred design and community engagement approach, we use mixed-methods research to generate ideas that empower individuals and communities and help build a healthcare system that is responsive, not reactive.

Our Guiding Principles

  • Creating and supporting a diverse and inclusive health knowledge generation, research, and innovation community.
  • Committing to humility, continuous learning, compassion, and scholarship.
  • Dismantling power structures that are rooted in racial inequity and clinical hierarchy to improve care.
  • Honouring the power and experiences of patients and centering the work on their needs.
