Trinity Health

Our Culture of Inclusion and Belonging

By continually educating ourselves and engaging in meaningful conversation, we take action. Action leads to change. And change is necessary for us to advance, together. Our focus for change remains on creating a culture of inclusion and belonging – for all.

We collaborate with our community to continually seek training and education to ensure we are always doing more to understand the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Some of our initiatives include:
