Why is diversity, equity, and inclusion a core strategy at UPMC?
“At UPMC, diversity is how we achieve our mission and how we grow our business. It is not possible for us to improve the health status of the communities we serve without knowing and supporting the unique diversity within each. In some industries, there are only vague connections between diversity and the core work of the organization. Not with us. Transformation is an urgent industry requirement, and cultural competency is fundamental to our transformation. Our employees are constantly assessing the direct link between culture, workforce productivity, community engagement, and health care outcomes to inform our care delivery practices.”
