In September 2018, Department of Surgery Chair John Sweeney and a steering committee composed of physician and administrative leaders launched the department's strategic planning process. The plan was finalized in early 2020, and will serve as a guide to excellence on behalf of our patients, communities, faculty, and staff through 2024.

Building on the momentum and engagement of the planning process, newly created committees are facilitating the plan's initiatives, and a board of advisors is overseeing the department's progress, performance, and providing recommendations to the chair.
