Education and Awareness - Promote and create educational opportunities and understanding of diversity and inclusion as a dynamic strategy for business success and community well-being.
Talent Management - Assist in creating opportunities to increase our talent pool with a highly skilled workforce that reflects diverse communities served by TriHealth.
Community Engagement - Engage staff and physicians and increase TriHealth’s presence in the community.
