EHC is committed to promoting and supporting diversity in all of its expressions. Diversity encompasses not only race and ethnicity but socioeconomic status, religion, sexual orientation, education, age, etc. Increasing the number of health care professionals who are from underrepresented minority and low-income backgrounds and who are culturally competent, will improve access and quality to care for everyone. Ultimately, increasing the number and diversity of health care professionals will save lives.
