Diversity and inclusion at FMH represent essential values that are embedded in our work culture and enhance our ability to attract, develop and retain a highly talented workforce. In essence, our commitment to diversity and inclusion goes to the very core of who we are as a healthcare provider and an employer. It defines and strengthens our mission to provide superb quality, superb service, all the time.

"Our ability to provide the best possible care to patients

requires that we have an openness and trust to talk about our differences

 in a manner that allows us to come up with the best solution for patients."

--- Thomas A. Kleinhanzl, President and CEO

You will find everyone at FMH recognizes the benefits of diversity and inclusion. Throughout our system, we have programs and resources that reinforce the value of different individual perspectives, increase cultural awareness and education, and ensure that our benefits and rewards meet the needs of an increasingly diverse talent pool. Our history of diversity and inclusion is reflected in programs, initiatives and accomplishments that include:

• Inception of a Diversity Advisory Council in 2002
• Diversity education and awareness opportunities
• Development and implementation of a language assistance program
• Expansion of benefit policies to include members of the LGBT community
• Mandatory on-line diversity awareness training
• Tuition assistance program
• Award and recognition by Frederick Magazine as one of the Top Five Family Friendly Employers in Frederick County

Reaching Beyond Our Halls

Furthermore, we recognize that diversity is not just about what we do and who we are within our own environments — it shapes how we care for the greater community. With that in mind, and with an appreciation for the increasing diversity of the growing greater Frederick area, we have completed an assessment of the implications of diversity on our organization and the community we serve. This information will drive our diversity and inclusion efforts going forward — because our commitment continues to grow.  

We value the different perspectives,

experiences and insights of all who work at FMH

and all who come here for their healthcare needs.
