Abstract

The diversity and inclusion initiatives at a Chicago academic medical center are reviewed in the context of its activities over 15 years. The team of leaders discuss how the diversity initiatives were introduced and the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of pursuing diversity, equity, and inclusion, as staff move in and out of the organization. Five employee resource groups and initiatives that serve as the backbone of the DEI initiatives are discussed including Rush community service initiatives program, Americans with Disabilities, business diversity, Women's Leadership, and LGBTQ programming.
