Top Organizations for Diversity - 2022

Henry Ford Health, an academic medical center based in Detroit, includes five hospitals and facilities for complex cancer care and other specialized medicine.

Under board and executive leadership, Henry Ford Health has:

• Created the “Let’s Talk About Bias, Discrimination and Racism” course, a series of two-hour interactive training sessions designed to deepen leader knowledge of unconscious bias, examine how bias can impact business decisions and set the stage for future discussions. 
• Developed several apprenticeship programs for healthcare-related positions, including pharmacy technician, nurse assistant and eyecare assistant, aimed at providing career development opportunities for new hires and existing team members to advance their careers. The one-year apprenticeships advance DEI efforts by increasing awareness of healthcare careers that would otherwise not be familiar to some populations.
• Established 12 diverse employee resource groups.
