Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

We work to create and maintain an environment where all employees feel welcome, valued, and can thrive. An employee-led council shares information monthly to learn about and celebrate our differences. While we look internally for ways to ensure all employees feel a sense of belonging, we also look outward to address health equity within our state, because equal access to care is baked into our mission.

Our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) give like-minded communities of employees a space to learn, network, and thrive with coworkers and peers. The ERGs host events throughout the year and gather virtually and in person. We have ERGs for the following communities and their allies:

  • African American
  • Women
  • Veterans
  • LGBTQ+
  • Asian and Pacific Islander
  • People with Disabilities
  • Hispanic
