By supporting the range of perspectives provided by a diverse workforce, VA spurs health care innovation and provides quality care to our nation’s Veterans. Now, thanks to a new partnership with the NAACP, we’re finding ways to make our workforce even more diverse.
Through this new association with the NAACP, we’re working to eliminate disparities and barriers to recruiting, hiring, developing, promoting and retaining employees, including those from historically underserved communities.
“At VA, it’s our mission to serve all Veterans, their families, caregivers and survivors as well as they’ve served our country,” said VA Secretary Denis McDonough. “This historic partnership with the NAACP will help us deliver on that promise.”
“The NAACP is proud to embark on this historic partnership with VA to further our commitment to ensuring that representation does not come without respect,” said NAACP CEO Derrick Johnson.
All Veterans are unique, and by the diversity of the very people we serve, we know that health care is not one-size-fits-all. Embracing that diversity in our patients—and those who join our team—ensures that we will be successful in fulfilling our mission.
