About the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
The Brigham Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) supports the organization’s work to increase diversity at all levels, create and sustain a culture of respect and belonging, and identify and eliminate inequities for patients and employees.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion comprise one of the pillars of Brigham Culture. This means that we proactively promote and address equity in alignment with Brigham Values. We have the courage to talk about differences, the willingness to lead, learn and to be uncomfortable. When we do, we achieve better outcomes for our employees and patients.
