Differently Abled Population

The office for DEI is committed to fostering an atmosphere of diversity, equity and inclusion for all differently abled people, by:

• Creating opportunities at every level throughout our organization for people with disabilities
• Supporting and empowering people with disabilities and their loved ones
• Raising awareness about their unique needs and talents
• Leveraging existing resources to further these goals and build new partnerships

Partnerships and Collaborations

Cultivating external relationships is a huge part of the work that we do and our commitment to being a trusted and active resource for our community. This involves outreach, engagement and collaboration with patient communities, professional organizations and external alliances, brand enhancement, and other inclusion initiatives. Over the years, we’ve partnered with many organizations to raise disability awareness and help to provide education and resources to our patient communities.
