About UW Health: Social Impact and Belonging

To fulfill our vision, we are working to achieve three primary goals – create a culture of belonging so all team members feel valued and respected, ensure patients have access to remarkable health care that is respectful of each individual’s experience and needs, and improve health outcomes for all of our communities through social impact.

Engaged leadership

UW Health leadership supports social impact and belonging initiatives throughout the organization and recognizes that all patients, families, faculty and staff deserve to feel respected at UW Health. We will continue to be open to learning and growing as individuals and as an organization. It is our responsibility, and it is simply the right thing to do.

Walking the talk

The many perspectives of our staff are a strength of UW Health. Our workforce and the patients we serve include people from all backgrounds and identities, and we celebrate those differences. To protect our team members and our patients, UW Health has adopted policies and tools that focus on interrupting any forms of bigotry or discrimination. UW Health also provides its employees with various learning and professional development programs for personal and professional growth to continue to work toward a culture of belonging.
