Inclusion and Non-discrimination Statement

MassME is committed to fostering and promoting an inclusive society where everyone is treated with respect and has equitable access to health care regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, ability, socioeconomic status, or any other characteristic. We actively seek to improve health care and related services to marginalized and other underserved communities across the Commonwealth and beyond.

We are dedicated to creating a culture within our organization and with our partners and service community where everyone feels respected, heard, and supported. We seek out diverse perspectives to ensure our programs and services are relevant, responsive, and accessible to all. We commit to organizational policies and practices that honor these values, and to address areas for improvement. We commit to language that welcomes everyone and avoids discriminatory terms.

We are committed to maximizing accessibility in our programs and materials, and on our website through language translations, visual aids and assistive technologies. We actively pursue these goals and continue to seek funds to implement strategies. We welcome all ideas, suggestions and resource recommendations.

MassME does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, gender expression, age, national origin (ancestry), disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or military status in any of our activities or operations. We are committed to providing a work environment that is free from harassment of any type. Our organizational bylaws and policies include procedures for preventing, mitigating and remedying any discriminatory or exclusive actions on the part of our board, staff, and volunteers, and for addressing harassment, exclusion, and bias.
