Welcome to the inaugural issue of Community Connection! The name speaks for itself — we developed this communication for our valuable community partners to help us stay connected regarding issues of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).
As an organization with a mission to “contribute to a healthier community,” Summa Health made a promise to not only acknowledge racism as a public health crisis, but to take swift action in addressing this topic with resources, education and tangible commitments. We are committed to creating and sustaining an environment that actively embraces DEI. In each issue, we will share with you our latest efforts to address racism and inequity. We urge you to get involved as you can.
As healthcare — and the world we live in — continue to evolve, I am confident Summa Health will remain in the forefront of our industry and continue to move the needle on equality while improving the quality care we provide.
We will continue to stand with those fighting for justice and will hold ourselves accountable to these commitments to eliminate disparities in healthcare and beyond. Thank you for standing with us as we all advocate for impactful change. We hope you enjoyed the first issue of Community Connection.
