Lima Memorial Embraces Diversity
Lima Memorial’s Diversity, Health Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Program will aim to foster an inclusive and welcoming environment for all patients, staff, visitors, students and partners within Lima Memorial Health System. We believe that an inclusive, positive environment that emphasizes respect, collaboration, fairness and equality fosters superior service to our clients and is essential to the long-term success of our organization. The DEI program is committed to ensuring workplace diversity and cultivating a culture of inclusion. We will recruit, develop, retain and promote staff representing the full spectrum of race, gender, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, marital status, veteran status, national origin, age and physical ability.
A Message From Tiffany Ward, DEI Manager
“At Lima Memorial we value providing Great Care to our patients and visitors. In order to provide Great Care, we must put people first. Diversity, Health Equity and Inclusion is a fundamental piece of our work within the organization and with the community. We value the opportunity to provide a welcoming, nurturing and respectful environment for patients, families, caregivers and associates of all races, ages, genders, nationalities, religions, sexual orientations, disability, mentality or veteran status. We believe, to be engaged, you must feel included and valued. At Lima Memorial, we aim to build a culture where inclusiveness is normalized, accepted and encouraged in every encounter. We know through experience that differing ideas, perspectives and backgrounds create a stronger and more creative work environment that delivers better results.
At Lima Memorial, our goal is to provide every patient the best outcome and patient experience in the safest way possible. We will achieve this by using best practices related to Diversity, Health Equity and Inclusion along with the best medical practices. This will result in better holistic care for our patients and employees.
The Diversity, Health Equity and Inclusion program will continue to elevate the Great Care provided by our team.
