The Canadian College of Health Leaders is proud to announce that Mackenzie Health was named recipient of the 2024 Excellence in Inclusion, Diversity, Equity & Accessibility (IDEA) Award for its steadfast commitment to fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive culture within the organization. Since the establishment of the Inclusion and Diversity Program in 2018, Mackenzie Health has made significant strides in embedding DEI principles across all facets of its operations.
Through robust programming and initiatives, Mackenzie Health has created an environment where staff, physicians, volunteers, patients, and visitors feel welcomed and valued. From comprehensive DEI education and training opportunities to the development of inclusive policies and the integration of symbols of inclusion, Mackenzie Health has demonstrated exemplary leadership in promoting diversity and equity.
Furthermore, their dedication to DEI extends beyond internal initiatives, as evidenced by their recruitment efforts aimed at reflecting the diversity of the communities they serve. As Mackenzie Health continues to evolve and grow, their unwavering commitment to inclusion and diversity remains a cornerstone of their mission to provide exceptional healthcare to all.
The Excellence in Inclusion, Diversity, Equity & Accessibility Award recognizes a forward-thinking healthcare organization that has demonstrated leadership in creating and promoting inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility to improve the environment for its employees, and to better service their customers/patients, and the community.
The award is sponsored by Sodexo Canada Ltd. Sodexo provides comprehensive support service solutions to the healthcare marketplace in four key areas: Food Services, Facilities Management, Real Estate and Project Management.
This award is part of our CCHL National Awards Program and will be presented at the Honouring Health Leadership event on June 2, 2024.
