Health Equity

At John Muir Health, we strive to be a leading health system by improving equity, inclusion and belonging policies and practices. Our vision is to cultivate a true culture of belonging where every patient, employee, provider and community member feels safe and valued for embracing all aspects of their differences. As a health care system, the journey towards belonging requires us to embrace health equity and actively work to remove obstacles to health access such as poverty and discrimination so that everyone has a fair and just opportunity to be as healthy as possible. We are committed to creating an environment built on respect and dignity for all.

California Assembly Bill No. 1204 requires the Department of Health Care Access and Information (HCAI) to develop and administer a Hospital Equity Measures Reporting Program to collect and post summaries of key hospital performance and patient outcome data regarding sociodemographic information, including but not limited to age, sex, race/ethnicity, payor type, language, disability status, and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Hospitals (general acute, children's, and acute psychiatric) and hospital systems are required to annually submit their reports to HCAI. These reports contain summaries of each measure, the top 10 disparities, and the equity plans to address the identified disparities.
