Key Diversity and Inclusion ObjectivesPatient Care
As a responsible, progressive employer, we strive to create a diverse workforce. It is our initiative and duty to provide quality care by employing exceptional professionals. Our employees are drawn from a variety of backgrounds and we actively recruit candidates from a wide pool of ethnicities, geographic locations and socioeconomic statuses.
We are happy to provide cultural and linguistic interpretation through our Interpreter Services Department. Additionally, we offer cultural competency training to further enhance your skillset and deliver on our commitment.
Business Integration
Our focus on diversity extends beyond a program-based approach. To achieve sustainability, we have integrated our initiatives throughout the fabric of our institution—meaning that diversity programs are inclusive within our everyday functionality and do not exist simply as stand-alone, separate entities.
To further that goal, we continually innovate and support a variety of approaches to realize diversity throughout our operation including:
Pursuing strategies that recruit and retain a diverse workforce
Assessing the experience of recently hired minority employees to identify opportunities that will improve our work environment and enhance retention
Utilizing minority-owned and women-owned businesses
Providing diversity-related development and training to employees
Compliance
We take the following steps to ensure accountability and adherence to our important initiatives:
Ensure compliance requirements remain in accordance with relevant federal and state regulations
Monitor adherence to regulatory compliance at the federal, state and local levels
Address concerns related to discrimination or other inappropriate behaviors
Provide consultation and training that promote a civil, respectful and engaging work environment
