Feature story: AHS garners award for diversity & inclusion
AHS has released its new Anti-Racism Position Statement as part of our continued efforts to combat racism in all forms. Racism, discrimination and intolerance exist within AHS. Indigenous, Black, People of Colour and Canadians of other ethnic identities endure the pain of racism, discrimination and oppression within our healthcare system. AHS will lead by example with a goal to become a healthcare organization that is inclusive, respectful and treats everyone with fairness, equity and equality regardless of race.
We know that it will take all of us standing together to ensure our people and our patients feel safe, included and respected.
