SIERRA VIEW MEDICAL CENTER
1. Policy Statement
Supplier Diversity Policy Statement
It is our duty to establish and build a work environment that reflects the diversity of the community we serve. Sierra View Medical Center has a commitment to diversity and inclusion. Fostering a diverse workforce benefits our community, employees and patients by offering an inclusive place to provide and receive care. We may come from different experiences and backgrounds, but we all share the same goal of providing high quality patient care and cultural humility. Diversity is multi-dimensional, encompassing not just race and ethnicity but gender, sexual orientation, religion and more. Understanding individual differences can be critical to delivering care that best meets each individual’s needs. At Sierra View, we want to make sure everyone feels included – from clinical to supportive roles, hospital vendors to contract workers and patients to visitors, we want to ensure that everyone is valued and recognized as the unique individuals they are.
