Diversity Management Competency
Diversity management is key to achieving our Mission. With the changing demographics and cultural differences inherent in today’s health care market, we must continue to relate effectively, not only to our patients, their families, and the communities we serve but also to our business partners and coworkers. We look forward to another year of growth in our commitment to care for an increasingly diverse patient population and to supporting coworkers, colleagues and associates of all races, religions, genders, ages, disability status, veteran status, and ethnic backgrounds.
