As we recognize the value of diversity, we act to free each of us and all of us from those limited perceptions which create unnecessary barriers to individuals and groups who voice unconventional approaches. Diversity requires listening before judging. Through this process, each of us and all of us learn and improve. Diversity is a positive force for building the future, by recognizing, encouraging, developing, and expecting contributions from each of us and all of us. Diversity drives creative, positive expression which encourages each of us and all of us to believe in ourselves and to contribute the best we have to offer.
Diversity is a result of individual and collective communication and collaboration.
Diversity is a belief that each of us and all of us can and do make a difference for the betterment of ourselves, our medical center community, those we serve, and our larger community. Diversity is each of us and all of us, what we do and how we do it, individually and collectively. Our challenge as individuals and as a community is to expect, appreciate, value, and respect differences in each of us and all of us. Diversity compels a total-quality, progressive workplace to reflect the changing demography of our society, at all levels of our medical center community. As a result, we gain unique opportunities to broaden our understanding and respect for others, providing each of us and all of us with potential for personal and professional growth, as well as a sense of fulfillment.
