Equity Assessment and Roadmap

Contra Costa Health (CCH) is devoted to fostering equity both within the organization and the community it serves. Equity and the elimination of health disparities are the foundational principles that guide our work.

The Equity Team has conducted a thorough assessment of the department's internal diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices. This included a staff survey, more than a dozen listening sessions and focus groups. This process, done with the assistance of The Justice Collective, produced an in-depth Equity Assessment Report and the department's Equity Roadmap for 2023 and beyond.

DEI Focus Areas and Desired

Following the extensive DEI evaluation process, CCH focused on internal-facing opportunities for equity. We centered the DEI plan around the following three priority Focus Areas and identified desired outcomes.

DEI investment

• Sustained and committed funding and resources for DEI-centered leadership and culture

Talent sourcing, Performance and Support

• Transparent recruitment and hiring at all levels of the organization
• Professional, equitable and sustainable retention, promotion, supervisory practices and professional development that ensure equal employment opportunities are given to all

Welcomeness and Inclusion

• The culture of physical and psychological safety is created and upheld
• Equitable and fair access to participate in training opportunities

Implementation Plan

The Equity Team is creating a detailed plan to implement DEI goals identified in the equity roadmap. The implementation plan will have specific action steps, metrics and timeline. Please review our equity reports over the last few years to see our progress so far.
