Dignity Health believes that every Californian deserves to be healthy.
California is remarkable for its diverse population and steadfast spirit. Californians are go-getters, dreamers and trailblazers whose faces reflect all of humankind.
And Dignity Health stands for every single Californian.
We can build a more just, equal and healthy society for everyone in our state, and Dignity Health is ready to lead the way. There is no health provider that serves as many diverse patients and communities in every part of California—with a particular focus on serving communities of color and patients without access to care. Our mission drives us to find solutions for hunger, homelessness, human trafficking and environmental challenges, and to improve health access and equity for every Californian. We hope you will join us in supporting the health of California’s diverse communities.
