Children's Wisconsin

At Children's Wisconsin, we have a long-standing commitment to support all children. We are dedicated to providing the best possible care experiences and outcomes for kids and families, creating a strong and united workplace culture, and building a better world so our children can grow up healthy.

As a leading pediatric health care system, with over 2 million touch points per year with kids and families, we know how many lives we impact on a daily basis. We take our responsibility to uphold values and standards relating to inclusion, diversity, and equity seriously.

We believe these principles are essential to our vision that the kids of Wisconsin will be the healthiest in the nation. That's why we are working together every day to ensure we are an organization that is listening, learning and driving positive change. Children's Office of Inclusion, Diversity and Equity (ID&E) empowers and supports our workforce, the families we serve, and our community to advance our mission of Care, Advocacy, Research, and Education.

Our inclusion, diversity, and equity work is guided by the following objectives:

• Enhance our steadfast commitment to inclusion and health equity for the children and families we serve.
• Increase the diversity of our workforce and leadership with a special focus on underrepresented populations.
• Enhance our culture of respect, equity, and inclusion for all aspects of diversity.
• Provide leadership in the community on topics of diversity, inclusion, and health equity.

Central to this work is our commitment to anti-racism. At Children's, we have no tolerance for racism and discrimination. This includes racism within the workplace, within the child and family experience, or in any of our care settings.

Through listening sessions, panel discussions, work groups and inclusion resource groups, our teams are working together to ensure our environments are places where everyone feels valued, understood, and welcomed.
