Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Healthier communities driven by excellence, innovation and equity
Exceptional Care for Everyone
At Joslin Diabetes Center, we’re shaping the future of healthcare – and that means creating medical equity for both our patients and employees. As part of Beth Israel Lahey Health, our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) vision is to transform care delivery by dismantling barriers to equitable health outcomes and becoming the premier health system to attract, retain, and develop diverse talent.
Our team is comprised of a diverse group of healthcare professionals. United by the desire to improve the lives of others, our staff members come from all walks of life and use their experiences to provide patients with care that honors their social, cultural, and language needs.
Inclusive, Equitable Care
We’re committed to providing our patients with inclusive, equitable care, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, disability status or financial situation. No matter your needs, you deserve dignified, personalized care.
Gender-Affirming Programs and Services
Regardless of where you fall on the gender spectrum, we can help you access the gender-affirming care you need. Learn more about our gender-affirming programs and services at BIDMC and LHMC.
Workplace Equity
Building and Sustaining a Diverse Workforce
We know the importance of having a workforce that mirrors the increasing diversity in the communities that BILH serves. We’re actively working to build representation of Black and Indigenous people of color and women among our leadership and our workforce through hiring and offering development programs to offer support and opportunities for growth.
Workplace equity is critical for fostering a working environment where employees can grow, develop their skills, and feel valued and respected. We have policies and procedures to protect all employees from discrimination and a fair and balanced approach to work responsibility.
Joslin participates in robust employee engagement surveys with a significant focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion questions.
Creating an Inclusive Workplace Through Policies and Training
An important piece of workplace equity and providing culturally competent care is enabling both large-scale and focused training for employees. Joslin uses LinkedIn Learning which includes significant DEI learning modules for all employees.
Multicultural Care
We offer two multicultural clinics — an Asian American Clinic and Latinx Clinic. These clinics are staffed by bilingual healthcare providers who understand how the condition uniquely impacts Asian Americans and Latinos.
