Family Life Center Equity Statement
The Family Life Center at Mercy Medical Center recognizes that systemic inequities result in healthcare disparities which can lead to poor obstetric and neonatal outcomes. Some of these outcomes include higher rates of preterm birth, low birth weight, maternal and neonatal morbidity, and mortality. Individuals, families, and communities experience discrimination and systemic oppression based on race, ethnicity, economic status, education level, ability, religion, age, sexual orientation, gender expression, language, citizenship status, and other identities.
We embrace our responsibility to ALL patients and their families by participating in the ongoing work of creating an inclusive environment where they feel represented, supported, and safe. We strive to deliver care to all families in a way that is culturally affirming and respectful.
We demonstrate these commitments by providing anti-discrimination training for all staff at the Family Life Center and committing to the ongoing and lifelong work of dismantling racism and other systemic forms of oppression.
We solidify our commitment through relevant non-discrimination and harassment policies and inclusive protocols.
