Allina Health

**Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging** At Allina Health, diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging are fundamental to achieving our mission as a health care provider. We know that systemic racism, poverty and discrimination negatively impact the overall health and wellness of our communities. It is our responsibility to take action. By respecting and understanding cultural differences, we enhance our ability to provide culturally sensitive care. Increasing cultural competence starts with understanding our own biases and shifting our approach when we interact with others who may be different from ourselves. This reduces the potential for physical, emotional or psychological harm to those who entrust us with their care. **Our accountability to our community** This is who we are accountable to: Patients, employees and people who live in the communities we serve—of all races, ethnicities, gender identities, sexualities, abilities and economic means. **Our goal** Improve the health of all people in our communities by using the collective strength of Allina Health as a care provider, employer, purchaser and community partner to eliminate systemic inequities and racism.
