Because we are an academic health system, Rush University System for Health has a special mandate to ensure that this commitment to an environment of inclusion is evident not just to our community and our patients, but also to our employees, students and physicians.
Our commitment to equal opportunity, diversity, equity and inclusion is a critical part of our DNA at Rush. We are dedicated to fostering an environment where everyone — our employees and anyone who enters our doors — is treated fairly and with respect.
At Rush, we understand that excellence is for everyone. We demonstrate our dedication to achieving a diverse workforce by applying affirmative initiatives, equal opportunity and a nondiscrimination policy in all aspects of employment. This includes recruitment, hiring, promotions, discipline, terminations, wage and salary administration, benefits and training.
