SHARE supports UMass Memorial’s efforts to be a more inclusive community. We encourage Hispanic and LatinX members to take note of the following opportunity to engage directly with hospital leadership . . .
LatinX Caregivers: Thursday, November 19, at 4:30 pm – Because we do not currently have a large LatinX Employee Resource Group, we open this session to all caregivers who may identify as, with, or support these groups.
If you are interested in attending, please send an RSVP note to Eric.Dickson.System.CEO@umassmemorial.org or reply to this email that you would like to attend. Once we have your RSVP, we will send you the Webex link.
More about the Listening Sessions
6-7 of these sessions have taken place already. Our goal in convening these sessions is to listen and respectfully acknowledge our colleagues who share their experiences with racism in the community and at work.
We acknowledge that there has not always been room for these conversations
For this reason, we are here today to listen and to learn from one another so that we can move forward together
We encourage a continued dialogue and invite your continued feedback so that we can improve
There is important equity work that we need to do going forward, and we will act but that action must be informed by the feedback employees, patients, and the community share with us.
We are meeting with and listening to different employee groups as a part of our planning for action
We will then share a plan of action with the goal of making our system one in which all employees and patients feel a true sense of belonging through inclusion
