AtlantiCare DEI Council

United In Action

Guided by our values, the council leads, advocates, coordinates, takes actions on and communicates our efforts. First and foremost, this is a decision-making group, and our work demonstrates our commitment to eliminating healthcare disparities and improving the health of our diverse community — while promoting diversity and inclusion in our healthcare workforce. Our objectives are aligned with the organization’s vision and performance-excellence commitments.

Our six objectives in service of our sixth core value:

1. Develop and deploy unconscious-bias training for all leadership, and continuous learning for all of AtlantiCare.
2. Foster an environment where employees have a sense of belonging, feel valued, and are comfortable expressing experiences and concerns.
3. Reinforce our culture of zero tolerance of discrimination, harassment and retaliation.
4. Cultivate a diverse and inclusive workforce at all levels of the organization — one that is reflective of the communities we serve.
5. Continuously advance organizational goals and values by harnessing the power of innovation that’s possible when diverse ideas and voices unite.
6. Recognize and respect the cultural differences within the communities we serve.

HEALTH EQUITY

In addition to fostering an inclusive culture within our organization, we’re committed to ensuring safe, equitable healthcare for the many populations and communities we serve. As part of our ongoing goal to identify and fill unmet needs, we conducted a comprehensive assessment in 2019 that you can view here.
