Diversity Equity & Inclusion
Optimal Health for All
The issues women, people of color, people with disabilities, LGBTQ+, religious minorities, and other marginalized groups face are our responsibility to understand and address. Everyone deserves to have an equal opportunity to be as healthy as possible. One of our primary focuses is to create a plan that addresses and removes any and all barriers to optimal health for all.
We are committed to active, intentional, and ongoing engagement with diversity—in our facilities and within the communities we serve. Our goal is to identify and eliminate inequities and injustices that plague all minorities.
MLK Health Symposium
Dr. King’s work focused on humanity, equity, and justice – ensuring everyone has access to the same opportunities. This virtual symposium honored the life and legacy of Dr. King. Our expert panel of speakers focused on the importance of disrupting systems that create health inequities and call leaders to action both personally and professionally.
Racial and Social Justice
As one of the first national health care systems to acknowledge racism as a public health crisis (and a root cause of health inequity) we focused our efforts to end systemic racism by addressing the structural and cultural roots of racial inequality.
Inclusion and Belonging
By continually educating ourselves and engaging in meaningful conversation we are taking action, which leads to change. And change is necessary for us all to advance, together. Our focus must remain on how we can create a culture of inclusion and belonging.
Equitable Practices
Establishing an equitable workplace and delivering equitable healthcare requires a commitment to fair treatment, career advancement, equal access to healthcare regardless of age, disability, nationality, race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, and/or gender expression.
