Every day in America, healthcare providers, employees, and organizations face the challenge of caring for an increasingly diverse population.

Diversity HealthWorks is a diversity career portal with content dedicated and related to diversity in the healthcare workforce. As a resource focusing on diversity in healthcare, we help the healthcare workforce, health plans, and employers by providing action-oriented information about healthcare diversity and solutions to address racial and cultural gaps in the workforce.

Diversity HealthWorks is here to share with you the numerous reasons why addressing diversity in the healthcare workforce is vital. Most important, is the bottom line of providing the best care to the American public. With our newsletters, diversity consulting resources, healthcare diversity and cultural competence products and tools (including Culture Vision), webinars, and seminars, Diversity HealthWorks is your one-stop portal for information on deepening diversity in healthcare and improving the health of all Americans.

Diversity in healthcare is a critical piece in addressing the overall health and skyrocketing costs of health services in the U.S. At Diversity HealthWorks we believe that excellence in healthcare begins with the workforce; and that organizations cannot maximize their ability to serve without a broad variety of ideas, thinking, and experiences from their workforces. Broad variety requires diversity and diversity engenders the need for cultural competence.

Cultural competence in health and healthcare has to be a focus for more than just the healthcare community. Large and smaller corporations (and the leaders working for them), health plans, and healthcare employers have to address the issue of increasing diversity in healthcare collectively. For lack of cultural competence, diversity and disparities in healthcare affect the bottom line of all people, not just healthcare organizations, but every tax paying individual and every insurance premium-paying employer.

Dedicated to diversity in health and healthcare, focused on the workforce--Diversity HealthWorks is here to help.
