At Northwood Chiropractic, we are committed to fostering an inclusive, respectful, and equitable environment for all patients, employees, and visitors. We believe that every individual is created in the divine image and deserves to be treated with dignity, compassion, and respect, regardless of their race, color, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, or any other characteristic protected by law.
Our anti-discrimination policy is guided by the following principles:
We recognize the inherent worth and value of every person. We celebrate diversity and embrace the unique qualities and perspectives that each individual brings to our community.
We are committed to providing equal access to our services and facilities, ensuring that no one is denied care or opportunities based on discriminatory practices.
We strive to create an atmosphere of acceptance, understanding, and empathy. We encourage open, honest communication and seek to build bridges of understanding across differences.
We believe in the power of love, compassion, and forgiveness. We choose to respond to others with kindness, patience, and grace, even in the face of misunderstanding or conflict.
We are committed to actively listening to and learning from those whose experiences and perspectives differ from our own. We seek to understand and empathize with the challenges and barriers that others may face.
We believe in the importance of humility and self-reflection. We acknowledge our own biases and limitations and work to continuously grow in our understanding and practice of inclusivity.
We strive to create an environment where every individual feels safe, respected, and supported. We do not tolerate any form of harassment, discrimination, or bullying, and we take prompt action to address any concerns that arise.
We are committed to promoting equity and justice in our policies, practices, and interactions. We regularly review and assess our processes to identify and eliminate any barriers to equal treatment and opportunity.
We believe in the power of education and training to foster a culture of inclusivity. We provide ongoing learning opportunities for our staff and stakeholders to deepen their understanding of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Above all, we recognize that true unity and equality are rooted in the love and grace that we have received. We seek to extend that same love and grace to all those we serve, honoring the divine spark within each person.
At Northwood Chiropractic, we are committed to embodying these principles in all aspects of our work. We invite our patients, employees, and partners to join us in creating a community where all individuals are valued, respected, and empowered to thrive.
