The See Us Project features portraits of our Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) colleagues from across the organization. The portraits celebrate the diversity that makes our community strong, while underscoring our commitment to creating a sense of belonging for our patients, families, and staff. The project features framed portraits of people of color in high traffic areas of the hospital. We encourage everyone to consider how we can leverage resources to further advance our health equity-related programs. We also encourage you to share this initiative with your colleagues, friends, family, and others who want to learn more about BCH’s commitment to this important work.
The portraits of selected staff are featured in pop-up banners in the front lobby of BCH San Francisco, the Shorenstein Family Café corridor, and the lobby of UCSF Bakar Cancer Hospital. The expansion of the portrait project to BCH San Francisco is thanks in large part to a generous Community Wellbeing Grant from UCSF Campus Life Services Wellness & Community.
