Learn about diversity at Cleveland Clinic and how we define "cultural competence."
A Message from Delos M. Cosgrove, MD, CEO and President
The diversity and unique perspectives that Cleveland Clinic employees bring to the workplace have made us a world-class organization. As our world becomes even more diverse, we are working to ensure that we continue to relate to our patients, communities and one another as productively as possible. In this regard, we have implemented several initiatives to improve our management of diversity.
We have formulated Diversity Councils in addition to employee networks so that we can continue to involve our employees in achieving our diversity goals.
I am also pleased to report that we have established an Office of Diversity & Inclusion. This organization is the principal vehicle to guide the implementation of the Cleveland Clinic Health Systems’ diversity strategies and programs.
The Office of Diversity & Inclusion develops and implements a wide array of initiatives which include diversity education and skills training, assisting in the recruitment and retention of diverse candidates and providing support to our diversity councils, network affinity groups and management personnel.
I am confident that the efforts outlined above will help improve service to our patients and our performance as an organization. The Office of Diversity & Inclusion is another of our initiatives to help make "Patients First."
Sincerely,
Delos M. Cosgrove, MD
CEO and President
Cleveland Clinic
