Transform from within
Our purpose is to ensure that everyone belongs. We seek to radiate equity outward from our core. We practice inclusion, instill cultural competency and train employees to recognize social determinants in diagnosis and treatment.
We seek and celebrate diversity, both as it is defined by law and reflected in the visible and invisible differences that make each person unique. And we are committed to treating one another and those in our care in a just and equitable way.
We also prioritize cultural competency so our employees provide care that is highly sensitive and responsive to the unique characteristics of the people we serve, especially those who are vulnerable.
Build insights
We design systems that measure health inequity and disparities and allow us to realize insights that will result in more equitable health outcomes for our patients.
Accessing the most relevant data and analytics allow us to better identify, measure and predict outcomes with an eye toward advancing equity as fast as the most recent innovations will allow.
CommonSpirit is a catalyst for building an analytics engine to:
- collect needed data to improve care;
- integrate data across every facet of our organization;
- measure the impact of our equity ethos;
- advance our vision to create a healthier future for all.
Heal the whole person
We prioritize adoption of existing and new clinical protocols focused on delivering equitable care and leveraging our size and scale to realize health equity within our own ministry and across the nation.
At CommonSpirit, our care delivery system is central to establishing and standardizing compassionate care that treats the whole person and furthers the common good. We partner with our caregivers in pursuit of relentlessly identifying and closing equity-related gaps in care.
Our purpose is to ensure everyone has a fair and just opportunity to be healthy. We do this by delivering the highest quality care that addresses each patient’s physical, social, emotional and spiritual needs.
