The DiversityInc lists, issued last week and yearly since 2001, recognizes companies that show commitment to diversity in areas  such as hiring, retaining, and promoting women, minorities, people with disabilities, LGBT, and veterans.

“This is a tremendous accomplishment for Methodist. We prioritize intentional inclusion and diversity, with leadership collaboratives at each of our entities,” says Stephen L. Mansfield, Ph.D., FACHE, president and CEO of Methodist Health System. “My team and I believe diversity and intentional inclusion enhances the quality of care we provide, opens our staff to new ideas and best practices, and increases employee satisfaction and engagement.”

Methodist provides patients with compassionate, quality healthcare that is sensitive to their values, particularly those that emerge out of their diverse cultural, ethnic, and religious backgrounds. “Consistently delivering culturally competent care allows our physicians, nurses, and medical staff to better communicate with patients and helps improve the overall patient experience,” says Cheryl Flynn, SPHR, Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer.  

DiversityInc’s extensive annual survey yields an empirically driven ranking based on recruitment, talent development, senior leadership commitment, and supplier diversity.
