TriHealth will celebrate National Diversity Week from Monday through Friday, Sept. 30 to Oct 4, and Monday through Friday, Oct 7 to 11.

During those weeks, Diversity Advisory Councils (DACs) at six locations will host a wide variety of educational opportunities to promote team member engagement and inclusion.

At TriHealth, we believe that effective diversity management is key to providing quality care to our patients, as well as providing a respectful and inclusive work environment. By embracing diversity, we can create a more positive, professional environment; provide an enhanced and enriched work experience for our team members and physicians; and promote continuous improvement in providing excellent, compassionate care.

The Diversity Week program was founded in 1998 to raise awareness about the diversity which has shaped - and continues to shape - the U.S.

Below is a list of events that will be taking place at each of the DAC locations. For more information or to participate, contact Tracey DuEst at tracey_duest@trihealth.com or 513 569 6011.
