At Allina Health, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEI&B) enhances organizational culture while improving the health of our patients and communities where we serve. By leveraging the collective strength of Allina Health as a care provider, employer, purchaser, investor, and community partner, we can make an impact on eliminating systemic inequities and racism. These commitment areas have established measures that provide visibility and focus to our DEI&B priorities to achieve the outcomes we desire for our patients, employees, and communities.
While we are proud of the progress we’ve made this year, we understand that addressing the effects of systemic inequities takes time. This is work that occurs on a daily basis and is reflected in our culture through our priorities and initiatives. We remain committed to ensuring that all people, regardless of race, gender, economic status, sexual orientation, or disability have access to good health care and receive unbiased treatment while in our care.
Allina Health is one of the largest nonprofit employers in the region. As part of our journey, we need to focus on increasing diversity within our organization. Our journey has just begun. We will use our data as a baseline to strategically position ourselves as the employer for all.
