Last week, our team had the opportunity to be part of the Principles of Community Showcase 2026 at UC Davis Health. The event created space for meaningful dialogue, connection, and reflection on the shared values that guide how we show up for one another and the communities we serve. ✨

We had so much fun connecting with colleagues and partners across campus and truly valued the opportunity to come together with purpose.

Thank you to Health Equity by Design for Inclusive Excellence (HEDI) for hosting such an inspiring gathering and creating space to celebrate community, collaboration, and belonging. 💛

Together, we can reduce health disparities and build stronger, healthier communities.💙

Rooted in UC Davis’ long-standing commitment to serving the region’s most historically underserved populations, our Center goes far beyond the traditional role of an academic medical center.
As our Director, Dr. Sergio Aguilar-Gaxiola, explains: “Our UC Davis Center for Reducing Health Disparities is joining UC Davis Health in embracing a “seeking mode” of service delivery- bringing preventive health services where populations in need are, where they live, work, and congregate.”
