Diversity & Inclusion
RWJ University Hospital Somerset: A Best in Class Hospital for Diversity and Inclusion
Diversity, inclusion, and cultural competency at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Somerset are imperative to our goal of being a leading, nationally distinguished academic medical center. In our quest to ensure health equity and close disparities, we are mindful of all aspects of human differences, such as socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, language, nationality, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, geography, disability and age. We're working to foster a culture of inclusion that enriches our workforce, physicians, patients, families, partners and communities. At RWJUHS, 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.
For the fifth straight year, RWJUH Somerset earned top marks in meeting
non-discrimination and training criteria that demonstrate a commitment
to equitable, inclusive, and compassionate care for LGBTQ patients and
their families, who often face significant challenges in securing the
health care they need and deserve.
