Inclusion and Engagement

We firmly believe that getting people with different experiences and backgrounds around the table leads to better decision-making and better patient care.

Our Differences Make Us Stronger

Our Physicians and APPs treat millions of patients from around the country every year. No two are the same. So, we value diversity of age, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, family status, medical specialty, and life experience among our team members. We recognize that to fully understand the issues in the areas we serve, we need to have people working in our hospitals who represent those communities.

Office of Inclusion and Engagement

We have established an Office of Inclusion and Engagement which is run by our Chief of Engagement and Talent Management. The office has the following focus areas:

To empower employees
To create an inclusive environment
To advance health equity for each patient we serve

We also offer a variety of employee resources and patient-focused efforts to help drive change and support positive outcomes.

Employee Resource Groups

Our employee resource groups celebrate the diversity of our Physicians, APPs, and employees, as well as drive engagement, support leadership development, and provide opportunities for community outreach.

We currently have the following Employee Resource Groups, which are open to all USACS employees:

The Dr. Charles Drew Alliance Resource Group
La Familia Resource Group
Women’s Resource Group
Pride and Allies Resource Group
Asian Heritage Resource Group

Why USACS

Women’s Destination

Gender diversity is not just a benefit for our team. It benefits the health systems we serve. When Physicians and APPs reflect the diversity of their patients, care and experiences improve.

Parental Leave

When a Physician or APP in our group decides to have a child, the rest of us rally around to ensure they get the time they need to pursue their dream of raising a family, and the financial support they need to keep excelling in their careers.
