Advancement of health equity
For us, making sure our services are culturally and linguistically appropriate is one way to improve the quality of services provided to all individuals, which will ultimately help reduce health disparities and achieve health equity. Being intentional about health equity requires respect and responsiveness: Respect the whole individual and respond to the individual’s health needs and preferences.

Implementing the Race, Language, Ethnicity, and Other Accessibility Project
To provide accessible communication, services, and products, we are intentional about providing an equitable member and employee experience. Our work is in alignment with CMS requirements of providing certain communications or member materials in a preferred language or alternate formats.
Building an inclusive organization
As an opportunity for colleagues to become more aware and educated about diversity, equity, and inclusion topics, we offer employee lunch-and-learns on various DEI&B topics. These trainings are required to support health equity accreditation under NCQA standards.
We prioritize preparing our employees to foster inclusive relationships with an emphasis on belonging. Some of the topics we integrate into our learning and development:
- Microaggressions
- COVID-19 and Health Disparities
- Cultural Humility
- Neuro-Inclusivity
- Implicit Bias
- Cultural & Linguistic Diversity
- Enhancing Belonging
- Inclusive Leadership
- Allyship at work
- Belonging at Quartz
