Culture and Diversity

Renown Health Employees at the Reno Pride Parade

Leading With a People First Employee Experience

We believe that our employees are the heart of our health system. Being a “People First” organization means that our success relies on our ability to listen to and address the needs of our team members. We uphold these values by prioritizing compassion and collaboration. By fostering positive working relationships, we enhance performance and make Renown a great place to work for everyone. Through this vision, we seek to continue to make a meaningful impact and serve our community as we remain steadfast in our commitment to saving lives, nurturing minds and caring for all people.

Creating a Positive Work Culture

When we say, “we care for you,” we not only mean we care for our patients – we also care for our employees and their livelihoods and foster an inclusive and connected People First culture for all our in-person and remote employees. Renown has a dedicated group called the Culture Crew, which consists of employees from various departments within the health system who are passionate about nurturing a culture of kindness. This team organizes cultural initiatives, awareness campaigns and appreciation events to recognize the hard work of our teams. Additionally, Renown hosts award ceremonies and banquets, team pride days, monthly forums with leadership, encourages participation in community events and many other engaging activities.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Pledges

Fighting the good fight to ensure all who walk through our doors are treated equally is not only our mission but also our duty. We are proud to create an inclusive and welcoming environment for all of our employees and patients.

This includes:

  • Celebrating the diverse heritages of our team members through recognition and events
  • Encouraging employee involvement in community events celebrating diversity
  • Offering all gender restrooms
  • Requiring annual training for all employees in LGBTQ Patient-Centered Care
  • Extending free HEI training options available through National LGBTQIA+ Health Education Center and The CAL.

Department Spotlight: Home Health

Care doesn’t always end at discharge. For many patients, the most important progress begins after they return home. That’s exactly where Renown Health’s Home Health department plays a vital role. Serving communities across northern Nevada, from up north in Red Rock and Spanish Springs to down south in Carson City, our Home Health professionals are on the frontlines of ensuring patients transition safely from hospital to home. The team provides a wide variety of expert health services, all coordinated to reduce readmissions, improve care outcomes and help patients regain a level of independence.
