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.
