    Office of Diversity & Inclusion


    The office provides strategic leadership for creating an inclusive organizational culture for patients, caregivers, business
    partners and the communities served by Cleveland Clinic. Initiatives focus on workforce demographics, education,
    pipeline development, economic initiatives/supplier diversity and cultural competence learning.

    KEY INITIATIVES AND PROGRAMS


    Organizational Culture and Inclusion
    Affirmative Action Plans (AAP)
    This programming aims to improve the patient experience through workforce development and recruitment of caregivers that
    reflect the patient population, and those communities in which we serve.
    Cultural Competency
    Office of Diversity and Inclusion provides education and training required for caregivers serving the needs of increasingly
    diverse patient and Caregiver populations.
    The Diversity Tool Kit is an on-line, Enterprise-wide resource for Caregivers to use in enhancing patient satisfaction and
    improving interpersonal relationships.
    The Diversity Calendar is a compilation of ethnic, religious, cultural, national and international holidays and occurrences.
    Both the Toolkit and Calendar can be accessed and printed through the Office of Diversity & Inclusion’s webpage at
    www.clevelandclinic.org/diversity.
    Language Enrichment Programs seek to improve and enhance patient relationships and provides professional development
    opportunities for caregivers. Courses include Spanish for Healthcare Professionals, Vocational English as a Second Language
    and the Accent Modification program.
    Enterprise based Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) and facility based Diversity Councils encourage discussions of diversity
    issues and explore ways to identify growth opportunities for Cleveland Clinic Caregivers. The ERGs are:
    • African American • Military/Veterans
    • Circle of Healers - Native American • Minority Phyisicans
    • ClinicPride - LGBT employees • Pan-Asian
    • Global • SALUD - Hispanic/Latino
    • Interfaith Network • WISE - Women in Search of Excellence

    Pipeline Talent Development

    through their analysis of issues affecting health care policy leaders.
    The MD/PhD Project is a multi-faceted program designed to increase the number of underrepresented physicians, research
    scientists and dentisits. Programs target high school, and undergraduate students through:
