Anti-Racism Efforts
Transforming Lives starts within at Trillium
Our mission at Trillium Health Resources is to transform lives and build community well-being through partnerships and proven solutions. A true partnership must allow for open communication and transparency. While Trillium prides ourselves on our relationships and personal connections around our region, we know we must do more to demand equity and integrity.
We envision equitable opportunities for everyone and are committed to ongoing support to do what we can to help create a more hopeful future. We are transforming through our hiring practices, continuing ways to improve racial disparities through population health initiatives, and ensuring we have a provider network reflective of the people we serve while supporting racial equality.

We want all our member families, staff, providers, and partners to know we stand against racism in all forms. Trillium values the diversity of the communities we serve and is committed to the inclusion of voices across the spectrum. We firmly believe that our differences make us stronger. We stand for the inclusion of people of different races in all areas of our society. We are committed to serving communities with the core values of integrity, equity, and respect leading the way. We do not stand for limiting anyone’s potential, through racist practices or beliefs. No Trillium staff will aid, directly or indirectly, in employment or volunteer filtering based on race, color, national origin, age, disability, creed, religious affiliation, ancestry, sex, gender, gender identity or expression, or sexual orientation.
We do stand together, united and unapologetically, in the true spirit of partnership to collectively transform. We invite you to join us.
