Hendry Ton to Retire After More Than 24 Years Advancing Health Equity

  • by UC Davis Staff

After more than 24 years of advancing health equity and belonging, Dr. Hendry Ton, associate vice chancellor for Health Equity by Design for Inclusive Excellence (HEDI) will retire on Oct. 1. Through his leadership within the broader division, UC Davis Inclusive Excellence, health equity became more deeply embedded in the institution’s culture, programs and partnerships, creating a foundation that will continue to shape work for years to come.

Belonging and Inclusion Huddle Program

The Belonging and Inclusion Huddle Program brings short, practical learning directly into existing UC Davis Health team huddles and staff meetings. Through 10 brief micro-modules, teams build shared expectations, strengthen how they show up for one another, and develop everyday skills that support belonging and inclusive excellence.

Designed to fit into the flow of daily work, each session takes just a few minutes and is led by a trusted team leader or peer. The program helps teams turn values into action and build stronger, more connected work environments over time.
