Our Sixth Core Value: Diversity And Inclusion

Diversity and inclusion are so essential to our organizational mission and vision that we’ve established it as our sixth core value with its own mission and vision statements. 

Our Mission

To enhance the delivery of healthcare services to our diverse community and strengthen our workplace by fostering an inclusive, collaborative and culturally sensitive environment.

Our Vision

Ensuring that diverse voices and experiences are the foundation for building healthy communities together.

Why Is Diversity Important in Healthcare?

A culture of diversity and inclusion in healthcare encourages all employees to contribute their unique ideas, backgrounds, talents and experiences. When we promote open communication, knowledge sharing and innovation, while prioritizing the experiences of a diverse population, we create a mutually respectful environment for our workforce and patients.

AtlantiCare is strongly committed to eliminating healthcare disparities. We enhance the delivery of our healthcare services for our diverse community by respecting our differences and leveraging cultural competence to build healthy communities.

At the heart of our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion strategy are our Employee Resource Groups (ERG). These groups are formed to unite employees with common identities but, in keeping with our commitment to inclusion, are open to any and all employees. Leading the way is our DEI Council, who will work with ERGs to ensure that there is an alignment of goals and initiatives across the organization.

To make this vision a reality, we:

• Foster a work environment that recognizes the benefits of diversity in healthcare and encourages expression of ideas from everyone.
• Achieve performance excellence by providing treatment and a patient experience reflective of our patients’ beliefs, backgrounds and cultural and community practices.
• Address the changing healthcare needs of our diverse community through education.
