Boston Children’s Hospital is dedicated to creating a culture where all patients, families, clinicians, researchers, staff, and communities feel empowered and supported. We are committed to working together to support health equity and promote anti-racist practices. This is not merely an aspirational goal, and in August 2020, we shared our formal Declaration on Equity, Diversity and Inclusivity that will be our guiding compass in making this goal a reality.
We recognize that diversity and cultural competency efforts are complex and require dedicated time, attention, and resources. We have major commitments on all fronts:

• enhancing access to the best health care
• promoting and cultivating a diverse workforce
• instilling a welcoming environment for all
• bolstering respect for cultural differences in the delivery of care
• reducing differences in health outcomes among different racial and ethnic groups
• advancing our community outreach
• developing further student and residency outreach

We will continue to evolve to ensure we provide a welcoming, inclusive environment for all staff and families. Our diversity makes us stronger.
