At the Health District of Northern Larimer County, equity, diversity, and inclusion are at the core of our work in providing health services to our community. These premises are central to our vision and mission as an organization.
Our efforts to further equity, diversity, and inclusion will help us to develop better ideas to solve complex issues.
Our organization is committed to providing health services that are client centered, respectful and best support each individual to take their health into their own hands regardless of identity.
Our organization is committed to building and maintaining an affirming and more inclusive workplace for all employees.
The Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Team (EDIT) was formed in 2018 and has been taking action to infuse these values into the internal and external cultures of the Health District.
We know as a team and as an organization that we have considerable work to do and that this work will never truly be done. But we’re guided in our efforts to do better by our shared commitment to a future with greater dignity, inclusivity, health, and wellbeing for the community we serve.
