Bringing you world-class care from around the globe, 十大正规网赌软件确实是一个多样性和个性的挂毯.

At Valley Medical Center, 我们非常自豪地拥有一支非常多元化的专业团队,致力于为我们的患者及其家属提供卓越的护理. 我们医院区服务的居民讲近90种不同的语言, 因此,我们积极寻求员工的多样性,以最好地照顾我们的病人和家属. 文化多样性不仅仅是服装和语言的差异,它还包括不同的思维方式, managing and communicating. 多样性是指向拥有不同经历和背景的人学习, 为有相似或不同经历的人提供支持和尊重, and creating an encouraging workplace that welcomes new opinions. 

Improving our culture of healthcare equity

谷庆祝我们的员工和社区的多样性,并认识到这是至关重要的,以创造公平的文化,积极影响那些我们服务的健康和福祉. We set bones, we mend hearts, we prevent disease, 我们把人们从死亡边缘拉回来,让他们回到家人身边, and sometimes we help them say good-bye. 我们也认识到,系统性和体制性的种族主义是美国文化结构的一部分. As caregivers, 我们肩负着以身作则的巨大责任,因为我们的服务区域是华盛顿州人口最多样化的地方. 我们认真对待这一责任,并努力成为一个反种族主义组织. In collaboration with UW Medicine, 我们要求我们的每个照顾者和社区中的每个人挑战存在于我们内心的个人偏见, 为我们所服务和雇用的不同群体成为平等大使, and care for all in our community like family.

Caregiver Affinity & Learning Groups: Five affinity groups—Black, Indigenous, People of Color Affinity Group; White EDI Advocacy Learning Group; Mental Health Affinity Group; United EDI Advocacy Learning Group; and LGBTQIA+ Affinity Group-- meet for monthly conversations to identify areas for improvement toward becoming a more inclusive, equitable, and safe place to work and receive care for ALL at Valley. Our affinity group goals are to educate ourselves and each other about discrimination; build a common language toolkit so we can safely and effectively discuss discrimination; learn and practice skills to confront discriminatory behavior in the workplace and in our personal lives.
