To help celebrate what diversity and inclusion means within our organization, Christiana Care created a video highlighting the rich diversity of our dedicated staff. The video includes colleagues from a variety of backgrounds and departments and visually illustrates how supporting a culture of diversity and inclusion encourages employee engagement, improves the patient experience and contributes to making Christiana Care a truly great place to work.
