Description
Managing racial and ethnic diversity has become a key leadership
challenge for U.S. organizations. Aware of the dramatic increase
in racial and ethnic diversity issues in the U.S., the CC acknowledges
the growing need to diversify its workforce and patient population.
This initiative will ultimately provide employees, at all levels,
the opportunity to fully realize their career potential. Patients
will benefit by a health care team of diverse professionals with
whom they can easily identify.
