Client Overview

Mission:

Motivated by the belief that healthcare is a human right, we provide high quality, affordable care to support healthier people, families and communities.

Vision:

All people living their healthiest lives.

Values:

• Social Justice - We honor the dignity of all people and their right to high quality health care and safe environments. We commit to eliminating health disparities, especially those that stem from racism and other systems of oppression.
• Excellence - We set high standards for all we do and are uncompromising in fostering a culture of safety and providing top quality patient care.

Our Committment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging

We believe that healthcare is a human right. We acknowledge the deep history of systemic oppression, racism, and discrimination that plagues our communities. We recognize that historically marginalized groups have long been denied access to quality healthcare, education and employment opportunities which has led to devastating health disparities.

We are committed to confronting these inequities, challenging ourselves to work with excellence and humility, and keeping ourselves open to critical conversations that encourage learning, progress, and change.

We seek an organizational culture where the dignity and worth of each of our patients, staff, learners, and community partners are honored, and value is seen in everyone’s unique differences. We pledge to continually explore and advance the values of diversity, equity and inclusion across all levels of our organization in alignment with our mission, vision and values.

We believe that building diverse teams is essential to meet the healthcare needs of an increasingly diverse patient population, and we are committed to hiring from within the communities we serve. We encourage candidates from all races, ethnicities, nationalities, abilities and gender identities–particularly those who have historically been marginalized in healthcare–to apply to join our team. We champion a team who will bring their unique differences and authentic selves–and consequently their wide-ranging perspectives, influential life experiences, and innovative approaches–to our clinical, operations and learning settings.
