Much of our most meaningful work is facilitated by assembling leaders and disseminating information. By coming together in this, member organizations are building a stronger international health care environment. Diversity, equity and inclusion are imperative for the vitality of the communities we serve – and critical to the success of our industry. Beyond being the right thing to do. 

As health care leaders, we are responsible for providing top-quality care to the communities we serve. Ensuring that our industry’s leadership and workforce are representative of our patient populations is crucial to our success.

Your help is needed as we answer the call to improve and strengthen our sector. Please join us—and inspire your colleagues and peers to get involved, as well.
