Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion
It’s an image of an institution that embraces diversity with open arms.
In short, it’s a snapshot of University Hospitals: a facility that serves as a premier destination for patients in culturally rich Northeast Ohio, as well as for a revered team of medical experts and support staff, many of whom travel from around the globe to work in what is considered a highly inclusive environment that celebrates diversity.
The best way to serve a community is by analyzing the demographics of the residents, then doing everything possible to meet their specific needs. At University Hospitals, that means combining unparalleled patient care with a set of core values that defines our commitment to diversity and inclusion.
Diversity, excellence, integrity, compassion, teamwork – these core values guide every interaction between our medical staff and our community, and together form the foundation of the University Hospitals mission.
Combine those virtues with an appreciation for every ethnicity, and the results are a picture of a successful organization that strives for diversity and inclusion.
Our Goals for Diversity and Inclusion
Ask a University Hospitals employee and they’ll tell you: Our distinction as the region’s premiere medical institution is due to our focused approach to health care.
That same level of focus extends to the University Hospitals appreciation for diversity.
Thanks to the establishment of three specific goals, as well as our entire team’s steadfastness to reaching them, University Hospitals is widely recognized as a beacon of inclusion.
Those goals? To track and maintain a talented workforce that is diverse; to meet the unique health and wellness requirements of the surrounding community; and to help fuel economic growth by facilitating the needs of the region.
The goals for inclusion at University Hospitals have been hailed as both admirable and ambitious. Most importantly, though, they are achievable – and ultimately work toward a more vibrant and vigorous Ohio.
