DEI Lens
ADLM reviews all programs, policies, decisions, actions, services, processes, and products (current and new) through a diversity, equity, and inclusion lens (DEI lens) to ensure alignment with the association's core value on diversity, equity, and inclusion.
When we put everyone’s identities into the practice of healthcare, we allow everyone to be treated equitably regardless of what their deck of cards gave them as privilege or what their deck of cards gave them as less privileged.
