Anti-Racism Statement

ChristianaCare commits to be an anti-racism organization. This commitment is reflected in the values and behaviors of our organization and through our policies, programs and practices. We resolve to advance actions to dismantle racism throughout the life and culture of our organization and the community. Together, we must:

• Recognize that racism causes health disparities and harm.
• Commit to advancing health equity in all the communities we serve.
• Examine racism beyond the actions of individuals, because it is embedded in the fabric of our society.
• Vow to purposefully identify, discuss and challenge issues of race and ethnicity and their impacts on our organization, our caregivers and the people in the communities we serve.
• Improve the diversity of our caregiver workforce to better reflect the community we serve.
• Create a culture of psychological safety to ensure every individual is empowered to be their truest, most authentic self.
• Commit to listen, learn and seek to understand in order to create impactful, sustainable positive change.
• Acknowledge that racism can be unconscious or unintentional, and that identifying racism as an issue does not automatically mean those involved are racist or intend a negative impact.
• Actively address the trauma and harm to our caregivers who are impacted by racism or racist behavior.
• Challenge ourselves to understand and correct inequities, as we gain a better understanding of ourselves and our organization.

Through these purposeful actions, we commit to valuing diversity and fostering an environment for inclusion as we support all our caregivers and serve all our neighbors with Love and Excellence, in our actions and in our words.
