“Health equity, diversity, and inclusivity are important concepts both philosophically and tangibly in the care we provide to our patients, how we interact with one another in the workplace, and within our communities. These concepts are foundational to helping us achieve our organizational mission to create healthy communities through accessible, affordable, and compassionate health care.”
