Community Impact & Belonging

The Department of Family and Community Medicine (DFCM) was founded with a mission to provide the best possible care to our patients and to train an outstanding new generation of family physicians.

At Jefferson, we believe high-quality healthcare begins with a culture of belonging. We are dedicated to continuous learning and fostering an environment where every patient, family, and team member feels valued, respected, and supported. We celebrate the diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives that enrich our department and strengthen our ability to deliver personalized, people-centered care.

As we continue in our efforts to further align our actions with our mission, and to effect change in our department, throughout the institution, and within our greater Philadelphia community, we look forward to listening and learning. We invite members and guests of our department to share thoughts, comments, concerns or questions with us. Please feel free to reach us at DFCM_Belonging@jefferson.edu
