Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging

Crouse Health values diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEI&B) among its employees, patients, families and the communities we serve. Our mission calls us to provide the best in patient care. To do so, we need to strengthen our ability to serve our patients. Our organization strives to be known in our community as one that treats all people without bias or judgment.

We believe that DEI&B is much more than just hiring for diversity. It is a deeper, ongoing investment to ensure the practices, processes, policies and programs are in place are equitable, inclusive, and effective at cultivating a greater sense of belonging for all. When diversity, equity, and inclusion are working together, it creates an environment of belonging for all.

The work of DEI&B has never been more important and hardwiring DEI&B across the organization is our priority. We remain committed to our employee culture, giving emphasis to ensure that career pathways are fair and based on value-added while fostering belonging, respect, and value for all. Equally important is our DEI&B community relationships that will better position us to engage and support our patients and employees while helping us all make an even greater impact in the community we serve.
