The story of diversity at Henry Ford Health System is told through the unique experiences of our stakeholders. While experiences differ, diversity is leveraged to directly or indirectly influence the equitable delivery of culturally appropriate care and treatment of our patients, employees and community partners which include our suppliers.
We employ a Diversity Lens of six distinct filters:
Workforce
Workplace
Health & Health Care
Marketplace
Structural
Behavioral
Dimensions that extend beyond race, ethnicity and gender.
Our ability to anticipate, inquire and respond to the dynamics of an ever-changing world – reflected in our team member standards of excellence and leadership competencies – will ensure a memorable experience of health and wellness in an environment that embraces and leverages the wealth of diversity for our patients, employees and community partners.
