The Association of Clinicians for the Underserved (ACU) is a nonprofit, transdisciplinary organization of clinicians, advocates and health care organizations united in a common mission to improve the health of America’s underserved populations and to enhance the development and support of the health care clinicians serving these populations.

ACU developed its JEDI Initiative to serve as a resource for its individual and organizational members and other health care stakeholders working toward JEDI.
