The results are a reflection of Mayo's progress and commitment to equity, inclusion and diversity.
"For more than a decade, Mayo Clinic has embraced social justice and belonging for our staff, patients and the community at large," says Barbara Jordan, administrator for Mayo Clinic's Office of Equity, Inclusion and Diversity. "Our recognition as a top health care system for diversity shows our commitment to continuous progress."
Mayo Clinic has long embraced diversity and inclusion, and Mayo's priorities are reflected in these institutional goals:
- Provide high-quality, culturally appropriate care in a welcoming environment to all patients.
- Increase the diversity of Mayo Clinic patients.
- Improve inclusiveness and participation of diverse staff members at all levels of the organization.
- Increase the proportion of women and minority staff and students where underrepresented.
- Increase the proportion of women and minorities in senior leadership.
- Identify and eliminate health disparities, and become a national leader in the science and promotion of health equity.
To participate in DiversityInc's "Top Hospitals and Healthcare Systems for Diversity" ranking, Mayo Clinic had to submit a detailed self-assessment, including practices and outcomes.
