Founded in 1955, Dignity Health’s Northridge Hospital Med-ical Center is a nonprofit facility that provides a compre-hensive range of award-winning services, including various specialized treatment centers, a pediatric intensive care unit and the San Fernando Valley’s only pediatric trauma center. In 2022, the Center launched its Cultural and Heritage initiative to celebrate staff diversity and promote educational opportunities through a series of tabling events and interactive experiences. Since then, the Medical Center’s DEIB Committee has expanded to include a wide variety of initiatives, including monthly commemorative celebrations, religious observances and other special occasions such as Women’s History Month and Men’s Health Awareness Month. Additionally, the hospital has instituted a wall in the main lobby designated to encourage patients and staff to share their own cultural experiences by leaving notes that speak to the diversity within the walls of the hospital. Northridge Hospital remains at the forefront of health equity initiatives, consistently earning recognition as a Healthcare Equality Index Leader from the Human Rights Campaign..
