Diversity in the Workforce

CHI Saint Joseph Health values our employees because of the unique talent they each bring to our organization. The combination of our different cultures, ideas and perspectives is what brings forth greater collaboration, creativity and innovation.

How are we going to honor diversity?

Core Values - these values serve as our guiding principles. They are the roots from which all of our activities, decision and behaviors grow.

What is your why?

While we may come from different experiences, we all share the same goal to serve and provide high quality patient care. Equitable, quality care for all is the ultimate goal of our diversity and inclusion journey. Diversity and inclusion is woven into the fabric of who we are. Treating everyone with dignity and respect is our goal and expectation for every employee, every day, and in everything we do. #CalledToServe.
