DEI Staff
Without a change in the existing culture and an intentional focus on the diversity of Wilmot's healthcare team to promote cultural, racial, gender, and ethnic sensitivity, we will never effect change to eliminate cancer disparities. Wilmot is dedicated to addressing these challenges by enhancing our supportive culture and dismantling the policies that drive these disparities.
