Commitment to DEI
Kettering Health has made it a priority to grow, adapt, and nuance how we cultivate an equitable, inclusive workplace. This remains our deliberate response to God’s vision for the world, one in which we see a thriving community made “from every nation, all tribes and peoples and languages” (Revelation 7:9).
Kettering Health is committed to fostering, cultivating, and preserving a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion. By doing so, we fulfill our faith-based mission by caring for all with excellence, empathy, and compassion in the communities we serve.
Kettering Health believes that diversity and inclusion are essential to providing the best quality care to patients because different perspectives and backgrounds enable us to understand and meet our communities’ needs more effectively and compassionately.
Vision Statement
To seamlessly integrate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) principles into every aspect of the organization, both internally and externally, ensuring diversity is celebrated, equity is promoted, and inclusivity is fostered throughout Kettering Health.
Mission Statement
To create an environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and included, recognizing that fostering a sense of belonging is essential for promoting collaboration, innovation, and overall well-being. Kettering Health strives to create a workplace where individuals with diverse backgrounds can thrive and contribute to the organization’s success.
Why DEI?
In a diverse workplace, people require support in different ways to achieve optimal performance. Equity asks us to acknowledge that everyone has different needs, experiences, and opportunities. By recognizing our differences, we will best support the success of our people and teams—and the accomplishment of Kettering Health’s mission to improve the quality of life of the people in the communities we serve through healthcare and education.
By weaving DEI into the very fabric of its work, Kettering Health aims to create a culture that embraces and values the unique contributions of all individuals, while striving for fairness and equal opportunities for everyone.
