Systemwide Patient Care

System wide LGBTQ inclusive care resources.

Allina Health also has six Employee Resource Groups (ERG's). 

  • AWE (Allina Women Empowered)
  • PRIDE (LGBTQIA+)
  • CARES (Creating Awareness, Respect, Engagement and Support for people living with disabilities, mental health conditions and addiction.)
  • BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Color)
  • HIC&W (Health Community Inclusion and Well-Being)
  • VETS (Veterans)

These ERG's are great ways to connect with communities of people outside of your team in a sage and inclusive space. More information about these can be found on the DEI&B page on the AKN.
