Capital Caring Health’s Center for Health Equity

Why We Exist: 

To ensure all patients and their families – regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, citizenship, or socio-economic status – are provided with advanced illness care of the highest quality, and that there is diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging, and cultural competence in staff caring for them. 

We believe that knowledge empowers, and drives change. Therefore, to dismantle the attitudes, misinformation, systems, policies, and ineffective programs – often barriers to receiving quality hospice and palliative care – we partner with faith-based leaders and community organizations, educational institutions, and government agencies to provide: 

  • Information and Resources 
  • Education and Outreach 
  • Training 
  • Grief Counseling Services 
  • Data Integrity

To successfully deliver on the overall patient, family and employee experience, diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) must be infused in every decision, with mutual accountability at all levels of our organization. As we consider social, political, and emotional determinants of health, we pledge to: 

  1. Elevate the Patient and Family Journey through cultural certifications, support of health innovation, and expanding “in-language” printed material for underserved communities 
  2. Elevate the Employee Journey through training and creating a culture of belonging 
  3. Develop Strong Community Partnerships that Build Trust 
  4. Create a Supplier Diversity program for Capital Caring Health and our Partners 
  5. Advocate for Board Member Diversity
