As a healthcare organization committed to caring for... others, Lifemark Health Group continues to take positive steps towards building a workforce that fully reflects the diverse communities where we live and work. Diversity enables us to better represent and serve all sectors, including the Black community. A benchmark survey on Lifemark Health Group’s nation-wide workforce by the Diversity & Inclusion Committee has been conducted, and the data is driving comprehensive action plans for 2021 and beyond.
