The equitable distribution of health and health care are essential elements of justice. We will treat all of our staff, all of our patients, all of our students, and all of our communities with dedication and compassion.

The design motif featured in the strategic plan was created by Nikita Rochiramani and then modified by Penn Medicine Creative Services. It draws inspiration from Maya Lin's Tree of Life sculpture that graces the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania-Pavilion lobby. The design aims to convey that the plan will grow and evolve, to evoke the interconnectedness of our several missions, and to reflect the foundation that we will lead with humanity in everything we do.
