About the BCH Black Caucus:
The BCH Black Caucus (BCHBC) strives to provide opportunities for staff to engage, build community and make connections at Children's Oakland/SF and the broader UCSF community.
The group’s mission is to help foster a climate and culture of unity, equity, and inclusion. We serve as a resource for advancing the social and cultural growth among African American care providers and staff through outreach, mentoring, networking, community service, and enrichment activities. As a chapter of the UCSF Black Caucus and in collaboration with BCH hospital leadership, the BCH -Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Anti-Racism Council, and other affinity groups, our goals include:
- To increase diversity among our care providers and staff in collaboration with BCH-DEI/AR Council
- To create a safe space to speak freely about institutional inequities at BCH
- To develop and cultivate career growth opportunities for people of color
