Trust is at the heart of one of our core values: Integrity. And we firmly believe that you cannot build trust without transparency.
To improve our community’s health, we must serve all people from all backgrounds. As we have watched and reflected on the events of the last year, we have realized that we can all contribute to do better. As care givers, we want this commitment to be apparent to every patient with every touch and interaction. We believe that the health and wellness of all of our patients matter, and as a medical group, it is essential that we display this belief in our actions and deeds. Along those lines, OSW is committed to the following:
As we continue to grow, we promise to create the most diverse, inclusive, and equitable Wellness Team possible through hiring practices that employ the latest tools for diverse candidate outreach.
We commit to being mindful of our patients’ cultural origins and identities so that every patient, no matter their background, feels heard and understood.
We promise to create dialogue around healthcare’s social determinants to encourage measurable progress and significantly impact our community’s health inequality.
We do not and shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, gender expression, age, national origin, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, military status, or political affiliation in any of our activities or operations.
If you feel that we are not living up to our promises, please have a conversation with us; we’re committed to our growth. We appreciate your patience as we learn and grow as a new practice. We hope you understand that Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion remain an Oregon Surgical Wellness priority.
Sincerely,
Your Wellness Team
