Supplier Diversity Policy Statement

West Hills Hospital and Medical Center recognizes the importance of supplier diversity and is committed to ensuring that it is an integral part of our day-to-day business operation planning. We believe that the utilization of a diversified supplier base is vital to our company’s growth and to the economic success of the communities where we live and serve. Our commitment is to promote the inclusion of diverse businesses within our supplier base through the development of mutually beneficial business relationships. It is our policy to proactively identify, build relationships with, and purchase goods and services from enterprises owned and operated by people of color, women, veterans, members of the LGBTQ+ community, socially and economically disadvantaged groups, and disabled persons as part of our corporate procurement process. It is our policy to select suppliers on a competitive basis to the maximum extent practicable, consistent with the objectives and requirements of our Supplier Diversity program. At West Hills Hospital and Medical Center, we are driven by our mission to care for and improve human life and believe that mission extends outside the walls of our facilities and includes community stewardship and social responsibility. And that good corporate citizenship includes supporting supplier diversity efforts that create sustainable economic development in the communities we serve. We will continue to encourage and work to develop successful partnerships with diverse business enterprises that model our business approach and support our overall business objectives.
