Clinician Equity & Vitality Advisory Council

The Clinician Equity and Vitality Advisory Council provides strategic direction to implement initiatives that enhance clinician well-being, support professional advancement, and cultivate an inclusive culture. The Council prioritizes clinician occupational well-being, gender equity, and racial equity as key drivers of innovation, retention, positive patient outcomes, and effective clinical practice.

This Council is new as of FY26, and merges the three previous EVI Councils, in an effort to strengthen collaboration, integrate diverse aspects of EVI, and create a more cohesive approach toward promoting equity and well-being in the workplace. Three Council Chairs – Heather Edwards, Cassandra Pierre, and Susannah Rowe – lead the Council, which is made up of 43 members from 20 clinical departments/sections and institutional leadership.
