Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEI)  

The Mississippi River Health Alliance (MRHA) is committed to advancing diversity, equity, inclusion & belonging and addressing bias and discrimination, to achieve better outcomes for all patients, families, providers, and staff.

All people will be treated with respect and dignity, and barriers to safe, and quality health care will be eliminated. We are committed to employing the right people to provide the best possible health care and encourage the importance of reflecting the diversity of our community in our workforce.

The MRHA DEI committee’s goal is to stay informed about DEI & Belonging initiatives to identify DEI & Belonging gaps; develop an action plan; help to integrate DEI & Belonging best practices into standard workflows; and host related education events.  The Mission, Vision, Values, Code of Conduct and other organizational policies guide the committee to provide support and education to staff, volunteers, patients, residents, families and the community.  

The committee will stay informed about DEI & Belonging initiatives and will:

• Identify DEI & Belonging gaps
• Develop an Action Plan
• Help to integrate DEI & Belonging best practices into standard workflows
• Host related educational events

Meetings will be held approximately 4 times annually.
