多样性, 股本, 包容 and 归属感 (DEIB)

作为一个非盈利组织, 全球十大赌钱软件app's mission to advance the health and wellness of the Monadnock Region to the individuals and communities we serve is foundational.

人口健康 is about everybody; our people—all staff, and our community—all residents and visitors in the area we serve.

In 2019, Cheshire undertook a DEIB assessment to identify opportunities for improvement. Our Board of Trustees established a framework and a resolution that "recognizes a commitment to diversity and inclusion as a priority for this organization and the adherence to the principle of health 股本 across our campus and its satellite locations."

DEIB委员会

Cheshire's DEIB Program Committee includes staff of different ages, 比赛, 种族, 性别, 父母的状态, 教育背景, 以及宗教或精神实践, who work together to understand our community's diversity and its importance to our commitment to deliver excellent, compassionate care in a safe and well-run environment.

The Committee has 3 goals to integrate this important work into Cheshire's strategic plan:

• Develop new 教育 and training opportunities to increase awareness of DEIB at the leadership and staff levels.
• Identify employee and patient-related policies from a DEIB perspective to identify gaps or necessary updates.
• Participate in strategies with external partners in the region that we serve to encourage our communities to be inclusive and welcoming.

Some recent activities supporting these goals:

• 世界地图项目
• Cultural heritage celebration days in the Art Nichols Cafe
• Reviewing policies related to patient discrimination toward staff
• Sponsoring and participating in Keene Pride events
• 有助于 Monadnock DEIB联盟 

多样性

As the community we serve becomes more diverse, its needs change. Understanding our current community is especially important in delivering quality healthcare because health needs vary by age, 种族/民族, 社会经济水平, 还有其他因素. 

招聘多元化, 教育, and retention of employees also supports our organization's sustainability in a changing environment. Welcoming and supporting a diverse staff is essential to achieving our mission.

股本

We emphasize health 股本 because everyone needs a fair opportunity to be healthy. There is ample evidence that health disparities persist despite legal requirements establishing equality in law, 尤其是对边缘群体.

包容

包容是这项工作不可或缺的一部分, 强调有意的, active engagement with the diversity of our care teams and the patients and visitors we serve. It is a process that goes beyond passive acceptance of someone different than oneself.

归属感

归属感 is the feeling of security and support. It binds a community, drives engagement, and supports resilience. 归属感 is the desired outcome of an environment where inclusion is a priority.

理解数据

Beyond the broad range of personal 身份 and backgrounds of our DEIB委员会 members, their efforts are driven by understanding the evolving demographics of Cheshire County's 76,458 * *居民.

例如, our county's net population has declined since 2010, with children under 17 years old declining by 17.8%. However, the population aged 65 years+ increased by 48%. The largest racial/ethnic group in 2020 was non-Hispanic White at 93.8%, with the population of other racial/ethnic groups increasing by 32% to 4,741 people. These changes affect the services our community members need to achieve health and well-being.
