Diversity is Who We Are and What We Do
Broward Health is committed to a culture of respect, inclusion and equity for all. As a world class community healthcare organization, we value and celebrate the diversity reflected in our patients, their families, our workforce and surrounding communities - because such diversity and inclusion empowers us to deliver culturally competent care and drive innovation. This is conveyed through our outstanding Diversity Programs and services which impact our workforce, community and marketplace.
Core Values
- Fostering diversity and cultural competence in all aspects of the organization.
- Upholding an inclusive culture within the workplace so that diverse talent is attracted and maintained.
- Promoting respect and open discussion between colleagues in order to establish a conducive and successful work environment.
- Developing a hospital system, that through the inclusive and diverse nature of employees, allows patients and the community to feel welcome to have their needs met.
