At the Lewis Katz School of Medicine, community impact is rooted in partnership. We are committed to being a good neighbor in North Philadelphia by advancing health, opportunity, and well-being through clinical care, education, prevention, and programs that address the social determinants of health. Our work creates meaningful, bidirectional benefits for our community, faculty, staff, and students.

By bringing together community members, healthcare professionals, students, researchers, and partners, we help shape an environment where trust, creativity, and equity can thrive.
