We have a diverse workforce caring for one of the most diverse populations in the nation. In the Sutter Health network, we believe that “cultural competence” means recognizing and respecting the individuality of our patients and employees.
Delivering the compassionate and personalized healthcare our patients deserve starts with truly knowing who they are. We are 100 percent focused on providing value to our patients and the communities we serve. We work to empower our employees to understand diverse cultural perspectives, traditions and practices–and to bridge any gaps of understanding that may exist.
Here are some facts about our diversity:
- 60 percent of California’s population is ethnically diverse.
- 33 percent of families in Sutter’s service area speak a language other than English at home.
- 43 percent of Sutter’s employees are racially and ethnically diverse.
To build and strengthen our care team, we provide a supportive and inclusive workplace that celebrates diversity and encourages creative problem-solving. We offer our employees competitive pay and benefits, as well as many opportunities to learn and grow, both professionally and personally.
