DEI strategic plan finalized
Following more than 30 stakeholder engagement sessions involving more than
2,500 caregivers, Providence finalized our first systemwide DEI strategic plan in
2023. The plan, with its aspirational statement — "You Belong at Providence" —
guides our work and shared commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion across
the entire Providence family of organizations.
The three pillars of our DEI strategic plan:
1 |
Promoting diversity, equity and inclusion
2 |
Caring for each other and our communities
3 |
Being courageous champions of change
Leadership representation
Providence is committed to prioritizing representation in leadership, with the
understanding that diversity in background, thought, gender and ethnicity
enables us to more effectively meet the needs of our communities. In 2023,
we continued our efforts to recruit outstanding and diverse leaders.
Impact Workforce Commitment signed
In May 2023, Providence signed onto the Healthcare Anchor Network's Impact
Workforce Commitment. This public commitment demonstrates and reinforces
our dedication to building healthy and equitable local economies through our
hiring and workforce development programs and policies.
