Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
We are committed to building on our culture of inclusion and belonging that reflects the communities where we operate and the patients we serve. Read how we bring the power of diversity to life in our Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) report.
Our approach to DE&I and our culture has matured during the past several years — and we continuously evolve to meet the expectations of our employees, patients and the communities we serve. We are working to advance our overall DE&I strategy and we check our progress by looking at the data.

Nowhere is this more evident than through our Employee Resource Networks — groups for those who share characteristics, life experiences and interests, along with their allies. These groups offer opportunities to support and advance business objectives, exchange knowledge, find mentors, volunteer and receive support — all of which are invaluable for career development.
