At Salem Health, everything we do is established on a foundation of care with respect. As an organization, we’re committed to consistently demonstrating Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and a Learning (IDEAL) culture.
Creating an IDEAL environment where you can be your best self
Inclusion
means involvement and empowerment, where we recognize the inherent worth and dignity of all people. An inclusive environment promotes a sense of belonging by valuing and respecting the talents, beliefs and backgrounds of every individual.
Diversity
is a variety of human differences: person, culture and life experience. A diverse environment honors the unique qualities of each individual and the perspective they bring to the health care team.
Equity
is just and fair, giving each person what they need to reach their full potential and optimal health. An equitable environment empowers each individual to participate, succeed and thrive.
Learning culture
is where people listen, learn, continuously improve and grow. Our learning culture nurtures meaningful dialogue, self-reflection and positive change.
The foundation for a stronger community
Diversity is what makes our community truly vibrant and alive. It enriches our lives, expands our perspectives, and makes this a more exciting and engaging place to live. That’s why it is of paramount importance to ensure our community is always welcoming and inclusive to all.
There are many community resources available – locally and throughout the State of Oregon. For more information on each of these organizations, just click on their name to visit their website.
