DEI Vision
Our DEI vision is to have an equitable and inclusive environment where people with diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences are encouraged to be their authentic selves.
DEI Statement
Alliance Health exists to ensure our members are receiving comprehensive health services in our community. We do that by demonstrating diversity, equity, and inclusion through:
- Embodying the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion throughout the entire organization
- Engaging, empowering, and advancing a diverse workforce that is passionate about serving our communities
- Having a respectful and supportive workplace that attracts and retains a talented workforce reflective of the communities we serve.
DEI Framework
Affinity Resource Groups
Our Affinity Resource Groups (ARGs) are voluntary, employee-led groups formed around shared interests, common bonds, or similar backgrounds. The ARG mission at Alliance Health is to create a safe space for employees to aspire, cultivate and work in partnership to reach their highest potential, serve as a resource to the company for employee insights, and represent Alliance Health in our communities. We currently offer 16 Affinity Resource Groups for employees to participate in at Alliance Health. They range from characteristic-based to workplace wellness. We purposefully chose to use the term “affinity” instead of the traditional terms “employee” or “business” to make them more inclusive and allow more opportunities for our employees to participate based on their interests.

Connect & Reflect-Fostering Connection and Understanding Across Differences
Connect & Reflect provides meaningful conversations that broaden our perspectives, helping us become better informed and more connected to our colleagues. Through dialogue, employees gain insight into their own identities and those of others. Identities encompass the norms, roles, values, and beliefs that shape how we see the world and interact with it. Connect & Reflect offers a safe and respectful space for these conversations, where employees can share, listen, and learn from one another. By participating, we hope you’ll foster deeper understanding, empathy, and collaboration across differences.
