MetroHealth Leaders Sign 'The Hispanic Promise,' Pledging to Hire, Retain and Celebrate Hispanic Employees and Patients
MetroHealth is publicly pledging to hire, promote, retain, develop and celebrate Hispanic employees, patients and citizens with the signing of The Hispanic Promise by President and CEO, Akram Boutros, MD, and Chief Equity Officer, Alan Nevel.
The Hispanic Promise, launched at the World Economic Summit in 2019, asks leaders to commit to creating Hispanic-friendly places for employees and others.
Hispanics make up 18% of the U.S. population, but 74% of them say they feel they cannot be themselves at work, according to We Are All Human, the organization behind The Hispanic Promise.
“Being one of the first in this area to sign The Hispanic Promise shows a real commitment by MetroHealth to this important issue,” says Marcia Moreno, president of AmMore Consulting, a Cleveland company that works to create more equitable workplaces for Latinos.
