“At Geisinger, we are deeply grateful and humbled to be recognized by the Greater Wyoming Valley Chamber of Commerce as the 2023 Diversity Champion of the Year.  We are honored to be among previous recipients who have paved the way as trailblazers in the diversity, equity, and inclusion space.  As a well-established and growing integrated health system in Central and Northeast Pennsylvania, we do not take lightly the responsibility we have to model behaviors of inclusion in the communities we have the privilege of serving.  We are on a continual journey to serve our diverse communities in meaningful ways, and that begins by maintaining an environment where everyone is welcome — regardless of their views, perspectives, or backgrounds.

We strive to create the best place to work and for our communities to seek care by valuing our differences through inclusion and developing each team member to reach their fullest potential.  Focusing on our culture and talent will unlock our ability to innovate and identify solutions to serve our patients and members better.  The more we challenge ourselves to understand each other, our patients, and our members, the more we can lessen the health disparities gap in various communities.

Our continued progress requires that we hold ourselves accountable, doing our part to create a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace and community.” - Kim Drumgo, Chief Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer
