Diversity Is Our Speciality

We are committed to the values of diversity and inclusion in our mission to provide health care to anyone who comes through our doors.

The Office of Diversity and Inclusion at NYC Health + Hospitals drives strategies, solutions and programs that create a welcoming environment for diverse patients, visitors and staff. We believe that everyone has the right to quality health care services—regardless of where they were born, or what language they speak. To learn more about NYC Health + Hospitals’ diversity and inclusion work, read the Office of Diversity and Inclusion’s Progress Report.

The following staff stories bring to life many of our values:

• Celebrating heritage
• Patients seeking care without fear
• Respecting and understanding a patient’s culture, background, and religion
• Effectively communicating to patients who speak limited English
• Breaking down medical jargon into plain language for patients

New Yorkers have always recognized that immigration means strength and renewal. We are either immigrants or have immigrant family members or ancestors who made their way here to create a better life for themselves and to make a positive contribution to the United States.

At NYC Health + Hospitals we will continue to honor these American values and we will continue to stand with our immigrant patients and employees.
