Diversity

Mercy Hospital is committed to diversity by providing an environment where every individual is respected, honored and supported. Each employee has equal opportunity and support to achieve his/her full potential, in an organization where human differences in no way interfere with the ability or willingness to recognize, support and reward. We strive to provide an environment that is open and creative and inspires best efforts and results, and where cooperation and teamwork thrive along with each individual's personal growth and contribution.

At Mercy Hospital, we accept the moral and practical imperatives of our changing society, as well as the impacts of these changes on our personal and professional lives. We value and seek the strengths of human variety with respect to age, culture, gender, national origin, personal values and beliefs, physical abilities, race and religion. In principle and in practice, Mercy Hospital commits time and resources to increasing diversity of our workforce.

We believe that diversity is about values and relationships. Building and maintaining a diversified workforce is essential to our business success. Diversity directly impacts Mercy Hospital in the following ways:

• It builds value for our communities, our people, our company and our patients.
• It makes us better neighbors in our communities.
• It makes our workforce more reflective of the patients entrusted in our care.
• It makes us a better employer and business partner.
• It helps us compete more effectively.

We subscribe to a common mission to improve the health and lives of our patients and community. We consider one another as equals in pursuit of our common goals -- none more or less protected, entitled or worthy of personal respect than another -- and all contributing to an integrated whole made stronger by our mutual commitment. The result is that both individuals and the organization itself achieve the highest standards of performance and potential.
