Division spotlight: Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine
[cid:image003.png at 01D9E26E.7B09CCA0]As part of our 75th Anniversary, we are spotlighting each of our divisions over the course of the year, in the order they were established. The Division of Respiratory Diseases was founded in 1965 by Dr. John Butler and later renamed the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine. Sleep Medicine was added to the division name in March 2017. The division is internationally recognized for the rigor and breadth of their training program, clinical expertise, and innovative research.

Department demographics
[cid:image009.jpg at 01D9E26E.7B09CCA0]Our Strategic Plan<https://bit.ly/461DHiV> (2021-2025) identified four core priority areas, including the aim of nurturing a supportive, collaborative culture built on equity, diversity, and inclusion. One of our key priorities is to track, understand and report the demographics of our community. In sharing demographic data, we hope to examine who we are as a community, provide transparency, and establish a baseline in our progress in becoming a more equitable, diverse and inclusive organization.
