Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

At Shirley Ryan 汤头条app, We Celebrate Diversity in All Forms

Body

Our organization was established 70 years ago to care for a vulnerable and disenfranchised group of people — patients with some of the most severe, complex conditions — with a mission that embraced equality and access for all. 

In 2017, when we set out to reimagine our organization as the first-ever translational research hospital, we built Shirley Ryan 汤头条app on the same foundational tenets of acceptance — principles our employees continue to hold dear.

Our key insight, then and now: To advance human ability, we must embrace humanity with love, empathy and compassion. We must acknowledge our fundamental cultural, spiritual and individual differences, and the ways in which they shape and influence our delivery of quality care in the 21st century. We must build a team that is reflective of the patients we serve and our world.

Today, we care for patients from around the country and the globe, regardless of insurance, and provide direct financial assistance to patients in need each year through our Charity Care Financial Assistance Program. We also recruit team members who represent diverse backgrounds and functional expertise. We have cultivated our organization with a special formula that is truly unique.

We Champion Ideas, Inclusivity and Action

Body

Culture of compassion, kindness, respect and dignity. We believe caring for others is not just a shared responsibility — it is a collective duty. 

Our IDEA Council, whose acronym stands for Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Action, serves as an organizational sounding board and action engine. It is led for and by our employees — team members of various races, faiths, ethnicities and sexual orientations — steering initiatives that help us live our values. Current IDEA Council priorities are centered around myriad initiatives, from staff recruitment and career development to health equity. 

To continue to lead in this field of medicine, we realize our words must align with our actions. We welcome into our community all those who share a commitment to our deeply held values, and to advocating for diversity, equity and inclusion. Those who join our team are part of our life-changing Mission and Vision. What’s more, they work in a truly inclusive environment where diversity, equity and action are championed.
