Equity, Diversity & Inclusion
At Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH), we are committed to advancing equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) throughout our organization in partnership with our staff and medical staff. We believe this is critical to delivering exceptional care and building a great place to work.
We aim to create a diverse and inclusive organization and address systemic barriers embedded within policies, practices, programs and services that inadvertently exclude individuals and groups.
VCH Pillar: Equity, Diversity & Inclusion
Promoting a sense of belonging where we can bring our whole selves to VCH.
Guided by our commitment to advance Global Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Benchmarks, over the next three years, we are focused on:
- Increasing representation
- Identifying and addressing barriers
- Developing policies and programs
- Building capacity, connections and alignment
- Implementing data-driven strategies
- Promoting inclusive leadership
