Wellstar Health System

At Wellstar, diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging support our mission of enhancing the health
and well-being of every person we serve. Embracing and respecting the unique aspects of our patients,
employees, and the communities where we all live reflects our values of serving with compassion, pursuing excellence and honoring every voice.

Wellstar Health System’s Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (ODEIB) is responsible for the system-wide design, development, strategic planning, and implementation of actions to impact workforce diversity, a culture of inclusion, building cultural competence, promoting health equity, improving community engagement, and enhancing supplier diversity.
 
When we speak a common language, we learn and grow together.

Business Resource Groups and Inclusion Councils

At Wellstar, our Business Resource Groups (BRGs) and Inclusion Councils (ICs) represent us by serving as ambassadors and champions of the health system’s diversity, equity, and inclusion strategy. Their strategic programming for physicians and team members builds cultural competency and increases awareness of the healthcare and wellness needs of our diverse patient, team member and community populations. ODEIB supports and advises the system-wide Business Resource Groups and location-specific Inclusion Councils.
