A profile OF DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION: UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS - CLEVELAND OHIO
At the direction of the board, our leadership was charged with incorporating diversity into the culture of the organization. In order to make sure the initiative was successful, the board insisted we change, starting at the top. 
Northeast Ohio is home to one of the country’s most ethnically diverse communities. Since our first medical facility began caring for the community more than 140 years ago, shifting demographics have transformed the community into a destination of choice for many ethnicities, particularly people of color.
We are respectful of the evolving landscape and believe we have a responsibility to cultivate and nurture diversity within our walls and externally so we may better serve the population. While excellent medical care has been at the forefront of everything we do, our list of core values also includes diversity, integrity, compassion and teamwork. In this publication, we will focus on diversity.
