Become a Patient

Strategic Plan:
A Decade of Innovation

The Strategic Plan is a 10-year vision that will guide us as we grow and pioneer individualized medicine programs toward a vision of personalized healthcare. The essence of the plan is the true integration of our research, clinical and educational efforts at the point of the patient.

Embracing this strategic plan will enable us to build on the outstanding history of the institution and extend our excellence as leaders in the research and treatment of respiratory, immune and related diseases.

Our Overall Approach:

  • Research: Build a more complete research continuum that: integrates clinical, translational and basic science; interfaces more consistently with clinical care; and promotes innovation and collaboration in order to maintain preeminence.
  • Clinical: Increase critical mass to support greater breadth and depth of services, improve financial performance and take a leadership role in individualized medicine and personalized healthcare.
  • Faculty: Accelerate the growth of the faculty in clinical, translational and basic science while developing the next generation of leaders.
  • Entrepreneurial Ventures: Pursue ventures, including commercialization of research, that generate returns sufficient to fund growth initiatives and mission-related activities.
  • Philanthropy: Increase donor base and create funding opportunities for major donors to support innovative programs, research and faculty growth.
