Rosalyn Carpenter
Senior vice president, diversity and inclusion, CommonSpirit Health
Along with CommonSpirit CEO Lloyd Dean, Carpenter is leading an effort to ensure that equity is a central part of the health system’s care delivery strategy. Since CommonSpirit’s creation following the merger of Catholic Health Initiatives and Dignity Health, Carpenter developed an organizational road map to make sure the system improved efforts to collect data on race, ethnicity and language, as well as sexual orientation and gender identification. Carpenter is also leading a collaboration with Morehouse School of Medicine through the National COVID-19 Resiliency Network to address the impact of the pandemic on racial and ethnic minority and rural populations.
