Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Statement

 

At Gillette Children's, we believe that when we all have a voice, we all do better. This principle is central to our mission and informs every aspect of the care that we provide for our patients and their families.

Creating an environment at Gillette Children’s that is open, diverse, equitable and inclusive is a daily process of listening, learning and trying to do better the next day.  

We will continue to do this work by: 

  • Recruiting and retaining a diverse workforce.

  • Fostering a welcoming, inclusive, and anti-racist environment for our patients, families and staff. 

  • Improving quality of care and reducing health disparities in our patient population.

  • Building new community partnerships within and outside our main hospital campus and clinics, to ensure we can provide an equitable, inclusive environment, where all feel welcome.
