City
of Hope, founded in 1913, is a leading center for biomedical
research and compassionate patient care for cancer and other
life-threatening diseases. Its sprawling main campus, with its
state-of-the-art facilites, is located northeast
of Los Angeles, in the City of Duarte, California. It also has
clinics in Antelope Valley and South Pasadena.
Compassionate patient care, innovative science and research that
rapidly push laboratory discoveries into promising cures are the
hallmarks of City of Hope. For this, it has been granted the highest
distinction by the National Cancer Institute as a comprehensive
cancer treatment. City of Hope, as a founding member of the National
Cancer Network, promotes the advancement in patient care nationwide
through its research and treatment protocols giving hope of a longer,
better, fuller life. The U.S.News & World Reports has ranked City
of Hope as one of “America's Best Hospitals” in cancer.
Fueled
by compassion in their drive for innovative research and advanced
treatments, City of Hope also has for its core value diversity and
inclusion. It is at the heart of their mission, according to
Stephanie Neuvirth,
Chief Human Resources and Diversity Officer. City of
Hope believes that bringing
together people from diverse backgrounds, talents and experiences
help in their “commitment to care for and cure those with cancer
and other life-threatening diseases.” The diversity in its
workforce provides City of Hope “the ability to understand our
patients’ needs, deliver compassionate care and continue the quest
for a cure for life threatening diseases.” In their mission of
finding cures and caring, they strive to build a community wherein
diversity and inclusion can help their workforce to continually
develop, grow, personally and professionally, and promote better
patient experiences as they all learn from one another.
As
a clear example of how integral diversity and inclusion is to City of
Hope, defining “who we are as an institution, how we operate
and how we see our future,” it is sponsoring a five-city College
Leadership Tour across America designed to “taking the lead to help
educate university students on the benefits of pursuing a career in
healthcare”, and it is mainly targeting Hispanic students. This
move reflects the belief and appreciation of City of Hope “that
ethnicity matters in cancer and diabetes research, prevention and
treatment,” Neuvirth said. Encouraging Hispanic students to develop
careers in the field of healthcare is City of Hope's way of promoting
“the importance of embracing your cultural values as an enabler of
authentic leadership and career success for the next generation of
Hispanic professionals.”
Thus,
City of Hope is not only striving each day to live by its core value
of diversity and inclusion in its workforce, but also helping promote
it in the field of education.
