The Commission's recommendations provide a holistic and enterprise-wide approach to dismantle structural racism, advance diversity, equity, and inclusion, and address health disparities. To align, elevate, and unify the goals of the institution, the Commission adopted the term, Inclusion, Diversity, and Health Equity (IDHE) as the ultimate goal of its recommendations.
