Baptist Health Care is committed to:
Championing diversity within the organization’s leadership and actively promoting opportunities for all within management and governance of the organization.

Ensuring that the organization, as an employer, taps the full potential of employees and builds an environment that allows all people to feel appreciated, included and valued.

Creating an environment that effectively anticipates and responds to the needs of the patient, the community and the employee.

To this end, Baptist Health Care will work to eliminate perceived or real barriers to diversity in operational, governance and leadership positions; treat all employees fairly regardless of race, age, religion, color, sex, disability, national origin, marital status or status as a veteran, including compensation, training and promotion throughout the organization; maintain a health care system that contributes to customer satisfaction and quality; and provide community services that meet the needs of employees, patients and customers we serve. Progress will be measured and evaluated on a regular basis.
