Finding common ground at our AdventHealth Ocala campus in West Florida
Diversity is all of our unique differences, seen and unseen. At AdventHealth, we believe that these differences are what make us strong. We embrace the rich uniqueness of each individual, regardless of age, gender, race, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, education, national origin, or religion. We believe that diversity in the community and in the workforce is something to be valued and cherished.
Inclusion is the appreciation of differences, which often results in a sense of belonging. At AdventHealth, we want you to feel respected and valued for who you are. The process of inclusion involves each individual. It is all of our responsibilities to make others feel valued. Only through inclusion we can truly fulfill our mission of extending the Healing Ministry of Christ.
Equity is the fair treatment, access, and opportunity for all people, while at the same time striving to eliminate barriers. At AdventHealth, we recognize that tackling equity issues requires understanding the root causes of outcome disparities in our society.
