Diversity Equity & Inclusion (DEI)
Committee

Mission

The purpose of the DEI Committee is to foster a diverse, equitable, and inclusive Virginia PA workforce representing the diverse communities we serve to improve patient healthcare outcomes

What is DEI?

Diversity is about representation. It is the collective mixture of human beings and their individual identities co-existing within a specific space. These identities must be considered holistically to include race, age, gender, sexual orientation, religion, sex, disabilities, culture, and educational backgrounds. Equity is about creating a space that promotes fairness for all regardless of their individual identities. Inclusion is about creating a space where individuals feel they can bring their individual identities without judgment and can feel a sense of belonging and respect. Inclusion in the workplace provides opportunities for people of all identities to participate and have an impact in a meaningful way.
