Our DEI priorities and efforts
Talking about DEI isn't enough. We’ve set measurable goals in three focus areas.

Driving the DEI conversation
We often say that "everyone gets a seat at the table" when discussing DEI, but it's more than just having a seat. Having a voice, encouragement and open ears around that table is crucial to feeling supported – not only in the workplace, but also in your community. By focusing on DEI, we can strengthen the health equity and outcomes of not just our most underserved populations, but everyone across North Carolina. This means greater access to critical care, lower health care costs and more health care innovation. We aren't just joining conversations about DEI – we're driving them.
