Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital: A Best in Class Hospital for Diversity and Inclusion

ReAL and SOGI

Diversity, inclusion, and cultural competency at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital are imperative to our goal of being a leading, nationally distinguished academic medical center. In our quest to ensure health equity and close health disparities, they are core values that are woven into the fabric of everything we do. We're working to foster a culture of inclusion that enriches our workforce, physicians, patients, families, partners and communities. At RWJUH, valuing diversity acknowledges that everyone deserves to be treated with dignity. Inclusion begins with acknowledging the behaviors linked to creating a culture of dignity, innovation, and cultural effectiveness.
