Equity and Diversity
The Office of Equity and Diversity was established alongside the Equity and Diversity Council by Children's Mercy to focus on implementing strategy, supporting hospital leadership and staff in their efforts to provide equitable care, and attending to regulatory and accreditation standards.
The Equity and Diversity Council and its work groups developed a mission and vision for Children's Mercy, specifically about diversity, inclusion and cultural competence. It defines what we hope our hospital will become.
Mission: Children’s Mercy is a diverse group of employees and community leaders who are passionate and committed to providing equitable, high quality clinical care to patients and their families. We continually strive to achieve this through education, advocacy, research, community collaboration, promotion of a culturally competent workforce and empowerment of families.
Vision: Our vision is to become a nationally recognized leader among children’s hospitals in providing culturally competent care and reducing healthcare disparities. We will give the highest quality family-centered care to every patient, every time, in an inclusive environment where patients, families and employees are treated with dignity and respect.
