Our Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

We understand that diversity is a fact, equity is a method, inclusion is a behavior, and belonging is the outcome we strive to achieve. We further understand that completely integrating diversity, equity and inclusion into our decision-making processes is a moral obligation.

The diversity we embrace includes a complete range of human attributes, strengths, talents and constructive ideas. We are committed to diversifying our leadership, staff, collaborators and services to reflect the communities we serve. We work to enhance the lives of all members of our St. Coletta community through our efforts to inform, involve, and connect people across the full spectrum of individual and collective identity and lived experience.

Our values are the cornerstone of all we do. Through our diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, we seek to build a community of belonging, where everyone in the St. Coletta sphere of influence feels they are a part of our collective “we.”
