00:00:01.830 --> 00:00:03.870
From small, rural towns,
2
00:00:03.870 --> 00:00:06.570
suburban communities and big cities,
3
00:00:06.570 --> 00:00:09.180
WellStar Health System is committed
4
00:00:09.180 --> 00:00:11.250
to enhancing the health and wellbeing
5
00:00:11.250 --> 00:00:13.740
of every person we serve.
6
00:00:13.740 --> 00:00:17.250
With 11 hospitals, five health parks,
7
00:00:17.250 --> 00:00:20.040
300 plus medical office locations,
8
00:00:20.040 --> 00:00:22.530
and over 24,000 team members,
9
00:00:22.530 --> 00:00:24.840
our diversity revolves around the people
10
00:00:24.840 --> 00:00:27.180
we care for and hire.
11
00:00:27.180 --> 00:00:31.530
Diversity, equity and inclusion matters.
12
00:00:31.530 --> 00:00:32.970
People matter.
13
00:00:32.970 --> 00:00:35.433
More than healthcare, people care.
14
00:00:36.330 --> 00:00:39.630
As a team member, you're not a number.
15
00:00:39.630 --> 00:00:44.340
WellStar culture is shaped by so many diverse personalities,
16
00:00:44.340 --> 00:00:47.970
unique individuals, and healthcare providers.
17
00:00:47.970 --> 00:00:48.990
I come from Lebanon,
18
00:00:48.990 --> 00:00:51.780
and living through a civil war as a child,
19
00:00:51.780 --> 00:00:56.461
uncertainty about many things as a teenager,
20
00:00:56.461 --> 00:00:57.900
and immigration and integration
21
00:00:57.900 --> 00:01:01.020
into a different culture as an adult,
22
00:01:01.020 --> 00:01:03.360
I've experienced firsthand the destructive impact
23
00:01:03.360 --> 00:01:05.820
of being viewed as an outsider.
24
00:01:05.820 --> 00:01:06.990
Every one of us-
25
00:01:06.990 --> 00:01:08.070
Every one of us-
26
00:01:08.070 --> 00:01:09.240
A caregiver.
27
00:01:09.240 --> 00:01:10.650
A caregiver.
28
00:01:10.650 --> 00:01:13.170
I act as a liaison between providers
29
00:01:13.170 --> 00:01:14.820
and insurance companies.
30
00:01:14.820 --> 00:01:17.550
We provide the most up to date information
31
00:01:17.550 --> 00:01:20.070
which affects patient care.
32
00:01:20.070 --> 00:01:23.763
My role is small, but a big part of the Wellstar puzzle.
33
00:01:24.930 --> 00:01:27.840
So what diversity in a workplace means to me
34
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:30.330
is having this space and the freedom
35
00:01:30.330 --> 00:01:33.900
to be able to be your unique and authentic self
36
00:01:33.900 --> 00:01:35.763
while fulfilling your duties.
37
00:01:37.140 --> 00:01:40.320
Wellstar believes diversity and inclusion of people
38
00:01:40.320 --> 00:01:43.140
and their ideas are key components
39
00:01:43.140 --> 00:01:45.453
to building a first class healthcare system.
40
00:01:46.410 --> 00:01:50.730
Diversity, equity, and inclusion matters.
41
00:01:50.730 --> 00:01:53.610
When Wellstar first asked me to be a part
42
00:01:53.610 --> 00:01:57.420
of starting our company's LGBT+ primary care clinic,
43
00:01:57.420 --> 00:01:59.010
I was thrilled.
44
00:01:59.010 --> 00:02:02.580
I feel a tremendous sense of pride that our company
45
00:02:02.580 --> 00:02:04.110
is going to be a pioneer
46
00:02:04.110 --> 00:02:08.613
in providing care for our LGBT+ community in Atlanta.
47
00:02:09.450 --> 00:02:12.090
Wellstar attracts and recruits
48
00:02:12.090 --> 00:02:14.940
some of the best and brightest healthcare professionals
49
00:02:14.940 --> 00:02:17.670
from all over the world and close to home,
50
00:02:17.670 --> 00:02:21.720
coming together to create a unique people care experience
51
00:02:21.720 --> 00:02:24.090
for patients, team members,
52
00:02:24.090 --> 00:02:26.130
and the communities we serve.
53
00:02:26.130 --> 00:02:27.420
More than healthcare.
54
00:02:27.420 --> 00:02:28.740
More than healthcare.
55
00:02:28.740 --> 00:02:30.210
More than healthcare.
56
00:02:30.210 --> 00:02:31.770
People care.
57
00:02:31.770 --> 00:02:34.380
At Wellstar, we honor every voice
58
00:02:34.380 --> 00:02:37.560
and then welcome your comments or suggestions.
59
00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:42.560

60
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:46.593
Diversity, equity and inclusion matters.
61
00:02:47.515 --> 00:02:51.222
Wellstar, more than healthcare, people care.
62
00:02:51.222 --> 00:02:53.805
