Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Our Mission

Our mission is to advise, educate, and nurture accountability around company-wide DE&I values so that: 

All employees can come to work as their most authentic selves and can do their best work.

DE&I principles, including psychological safety, are intentionally embedded in every structure, system, and process in the company and with external stakeholders, including patients.

Employees at every level and in every function play an active role in advancing DE&I

Human connection, which advances DE&I progress, is prioritized throughout the organization.
