This Hispanic Heritage Month, we celebrate Irina Correa Ordonez, MD, MHA, administrative fellow at Geisinger’s Steele Institute, her achievements and the collaborative spirit of SALUD, our Hispanic and Latino employee resource group. Her journey from Colombia to Geisinger is an inspiration to us all. “I’m very proud of everything I’ve accomplished so far, but none of it would’ve been possible without the excellent support system I’ve found at Geisinger.”

October is Disability Employment Awareness Month — a time we recognize the tremendous impact of people with disabilities in our inclusive workplace. 🌟 Our theme this year is, “Together is the best place to be.” Each of Geisinger’s 26,000 employees brings unique experiences, backgrounds and abilities to help create a culture of community and belonging. Together, we work toward one shared mission — to make better health easier for our patients, members and communities. Our Geisinger Ability and Inclusion Network (GAIN) plays a vital role in our commitment to DEI by educating us on how best to support and include people with disabilities. By empowering voices through groups like GAIN, we build diverse teams and promote equitable hiring, attraction and retention of top talent. 💪 When we work together, we can do great things and make Geisinger the best it can be. #InclusionWorks #DEAM #DEAM2024
