Who We Are

Mission

We provide stakeholders in Yale School of Medicine the means to discover, understand, appreciate and support one of the world’s great institutions of higher learning, biomedical research and advanced clinical care.

We help the medical school enhance and protect its global reputation, create a vibrant sense of community for all its stakeholders, keep alumni and friends informed and engaged, promote philanthropic support by donors, and build business in its clinical practice. We also assist departments and other units within the school in developing their own tailored planning and communications programs, thus promoting high school-wide standards, a consistent identity and savings of time and money.

Vision

We serve our stakeholders—the medical school’s leadership, faculty, staff, academic departments, administrative units, students, patients, neighbors, philanthropic supporters, alumni and the public at large—on several levels:

• WE SUPPORT EXECUTIVE DECISION-MAKING by providing strategic planning expertise and data analysis to YSM and YMG leadership.
• WE BUILD BUSINESS for the clinical practice by marketing the services of Yale Medical Group and ensuring that Yale is the destination of choice for health care in the region and beyond.
• WE BUILD COMMUNITY by giving our internal stakeholders the information they need to function optimally in their roles as faculty, students and staff and to engage in collaborative work and study.
• WE ENGAGE greater New Haven and the other communities we serve around the region, nation and world by supplying accurate and relevant information to encourage participation in medical school activities.
• WE DELIVER INFORMATION in a manner that is appealing, easy to navigate and  accessible to our various audiences in a variety of formats, including print publications, websites, email, events and marketing materials.
• WE SUPPORT THE MEDICAL SCHOOL AND UNIVERSITY through collaborations with colleagues in Development, Public Affairs, YCCI, Grants & Contracts, Cooperative Research, Continuing Medical Education, Yale-New Haven Hospital, the Yale Cancer Center, Child Study Center, the VA and the University’s other graduate and professional schools.
