Cultural diversity

"Cross cultural care is not just about 'other' cultures. It's about recognizing the effect of cultural values, which we all have, on health."
—Mary Brainerd, CEO HealthPartners

At Regions we are committed to embracing and providing culturally competent care. The rich diversity of our nursing staff supports an environment where patients’ values and beliefs are part of their individual plan of care. We are proud of our culturally diverse nursing staff and value all that they bring to their patients and their team.

At Regions we embrace our differences and this is one of the things I like most about working here.”
