At the heart of our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion is the belief that we can better position ourselves to end cancer as we know it, for everyone by attracting, developing, and retaining a diverse team of employees unified in their dedication to ensuring everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer.
We seek out and celebrate employees from different cultures, experiences, and geographies, ensuring we secure, develop, and retain top talent in an increasingly diverse, multicultural, and competitive labor force. The greater the diversity of our people, the better we can serve and positively impact our communities. That is how we define success.
