Act inclusively so everyone thrives

"Working with Valerie Zolezzi-Wyndham and her team at Promoting Good has been a critical part of UMass Memorial Health’s commitment to addressing systemic racism in our communities and working to create a culture within health care in which all people receive equitable access to high-quality, compassionate care. By utilizing Promoting Good’s Equity Pause®™ methodology, our senior leadership team now looks at every major decision we make through the lens of equity for all. We take that Equity Pause and ask ourselves the tough questions of how a decision might affect people of different races and ethnicities, gender identities and sexual orientation. By taking this pause, it brings clarity to our purpose and sometimes shines a light on gaps that we need to address before moving forward. This methodology has been invaluable to our organization.”
