Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

ACHE of Eastern PA is committed to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in healthcare. We recognize that these principles are not only ethical imperatives but also vital for the clinical and business aspects of the industry. We are dedicated to ensuring that this commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion is reflected throughout our chapter’s governance, initiatives, and events. It is a top priority as we work towards a more inclusive and equitable healthcare landscape. Moreover, we understand that embracing diversity in leadership and among our members can act as a powerful catalyst for improved decision-making, heightened productivity, and a distinct competitive advantage.

Our commitment to diversity extends to the recognition and support of individuals regardless of their race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, religion, age, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability. We believe that creating an inclusive environment is essential for improving the quality of healthcare, strengthening provider/community relationships, and positively impacting the overall health status of our society.

Our initiatives are strategically designed to focus on:

• People: Cultivating a diverse and inclusive executive workforce through specialized programs that unite healthcare leaders, strengthening our organization’s quality and impact.
• Programs: Championing diverse education, leadership development, and mentorship, among healthcare executives at all levels, enhancing decision-making capabilities, increasing productivity, and fostering a sense of togetherness, while concurrently gaining a competitive advantage.
• Togetherness: Fostering an inclusive environment that recognizes and supports healthcare executives from all backgrounds, contributing to improved healthcare quality, robust provider/community relationships, and the overall well-being of our society. These DEI priorities are seamlessly integrated into our chapter’s governance, initiatives, and events to empower healthcare executives in their pursuit of excellence.
