Commitment to Equity
PPLM is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization and an equal opportunity employer that values a diverse workforce and a culture of inclusivity and belonging. Equity, diversity, and inclusion are core values at PPLM and a chance for us to make long-term, meaningful change. In order to address health equity in communities across Massachusetts in an authentic way, we must start with ourselves. We are taking focused steps to make progress in our own organization and are committed to building an equity practice in all aspects of our work that will lead us toward becoming an organization that better reflects our patients and embodies cultural humility.
We believe that communities most impacted by health inequities must be centered in the work we do. Therefore, we strongly encourage applications from Black, Hispanic, Asian, and Indigenous people of color, Trans and gender non-conforming people, LGBTQIA+ people, people with disabilities, and working-class people for all our positions.
Equal employment opportunity and having a diverse staff are fundamental principles at PPLM, where employment and promotional opportunities are based upon individual capabilities and qualifications without regard to race, color, religion, gender, pregnancy, sexual orientation/affectional preference, age, national origin, marital status, citizenship, disability, veteran status or any other protected characteristic as established under law.
