DEI Report

Message from Marwa

It has truly been a busy, and exciting, (nearly) two years as the director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at Northern Light Health. It has been an honor to work so closely with all of you, as colleagues, to advance our commitment to DEI. Our culture of caring and organizational values of kindness and compassion foster a sense of belonging integral to the mission of Northern Light Health. It is imperative for us to have a system which fully represents the beautiful tapestry of our communities and renders the best care to our diverse patient populations. Moving forward, we will continue to advance DEI goals, embrace cultural differences and varying perspectives, embed DEI throughout our organization and make it an essential element of our policies and practices. We will tailor it to fit our local needs and strengthen external community partnerships.
