Launched in 2020, Johnson & Johnson’s Our Race to Health Equity initiative aspires to help eradicate racial and social injustice as a public health threat by eliminating health inequities for people of color. Johnson & Johnson is committed to closing the racial health gap by investing in culturally competent community care models that create healthy outcomes for people of color and changing the healthcare culture through its workforce, investments, and collaborations.

Since its beginning in 1891, Drexel has been a thriving hub for discovery, creative fusion, and experiential learning that fosters connection. The College of Arts and Sciences –often described as the ‘heart and soul’ of Drexel– brings together and amplifies diverse voices and perspectives of our faculty, students, staff and community partners.

The –a nationally recognized model of transdisciplinary care– delivers accessible primary and behavioral health, dental services, and wellness programs to over 6,000 people living in North Philadelphia each year.
