There are a lot of people doing great work in the diversity and cultural competency space where healthcare is concerned. One organization (the whole team!) that is doing outstanding work is Trinity Health under the leadership of VeLois Bowers, Sr. VP. of Diversity.
They are hosting an event that is going to be awesome! It is not too late to RSVP although the note below says different. Reach out to Toni Green and be there. If you are in healthcare and have a diversity responsibility in any capacity, you have to be there!

Greetings,
Today, diversity executives and practitioners in health care are faced with many factors impacting our diversity efforts. Recently, there has been an expressed interest in health care diversity professionals coming together to address initiatives in an industry where the diversity journey is just beginning. In this light, Trinity Health is pleased to host a health care diversity consortium to benchmark and share best practices from the industry across the nation. We will focus not only on recruitment, retention, and talent management but how diversity and inclusion initiatives impact responsive and respectful patient centered care.
Trinity Health's Office of Diversity and Inclusion would like to invite you to join us September 30 and October 1, 2008 at the Dearborn Inn located across from Henry Ford's historic Greenfield Village located near the Detroit metropolitan airport. The hotel logistics and an agenda will arrive under separate cover. We are planning a robust agenda that will include guest speakers and topics to stimulate dialogue and share best practices.
Please RSVP with your, or your designee's availability by Monday, July 28, 2008.
If you know of other healthcare diversity colleagues who may be interested in attending, please forward this invitation. Please contact me if you would like additional information.
I look forward to our meeting.
Best Regards,
Antoinette Green PHR
Director, Diversity & Inclusion
