A
Message from the Associate Vice Chancellor,
Health and Human Services |
|
University Health Services (UHS) has served the UC Berkeley campus
for more than 100 years, contributing to the teaching, research
and public service mission by ensuring students, faculty and staff
have the health services they need to support their academic and
work endeavors.
Internally, the process of conducting strategic planning is one
of the key methods UHS has used for over 20 years to proactively
assess the external and internal environment for emerging trends,
expectations and issues. Our external assessment from campus revealed
the desire for new levels of connectivity with our campus partners
and clients as we address the changing health and safety issues
in our community. The resulting strategic plan builds on and enhances
our capacity to create throughout the University a culture that
supports health, wellness and community responsibility for taking
care of each other and our environment.
Our vision statement illustrates this approach: "A healthy
campus community that is an inspiring place to learn, work and
live." When we envision a healthy campus, we see an integration
of health into every aspect of campus - the way we study, the
way we work, the way we eat, the way we move, the way we live.
We view ourselves as part of a system responding to the diverse
needs of a community that we are passionate about serving. The
strength of our contribution is a result of the dedication and
talent of our staff. We embrace our values, which provide the
foundation and spirit of University Health Services. Our mission
and strategic directions remind us daily that the work we do is
important, inspiring and rewarding. With 100 years behind us,
we look forward to moving us into a new era dedicated to infusing
health into our community.
We are indebted to the generosity of our alumni and friends for
their continued support and to our patients and clients who have
entrusted us with the very significant task of caring for the
campus.
Our vision is " A healthy campus community that is an inspiring
place to learn, work and live." The new 2008
strategic plan guides us into a new era of campus health leadership.
Thank you for your support!
