Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging
At Saint Luke’s, we celebrate people. All people. Our teams, our patients, our neighbors across the metro and beyond. From the heart of the historic Country Club Plaza to the nearby farming communities of Chillicothe, Missouri, and Iola, Kansas, the Saint Luke’s family looks like the communities we serve.
Committed to equity. Committed to all.
We’re proud to be one of the country’s first hospitals to prioritize health equity in order to advance care. It’s part of our proud heritage. But, more than that, we’re proud of our work today.
A Promise to Patients
Patients and families in our care become extended members of the Saint Luke’s family. That means they should expect nothing less than dignity and respect. No matter their background, life experiences, or beliefs. Regardless of race, age, religion, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, physical or mental disability, or veteran status. That’s our promise.
To help us keep this promise, the Saint Luke’s Patient and Family Advisory Council is here. Committed to listening to all voices, this Council fosters collaboration between Saint Luke’s and its patients with one goal in mind: keep improving the patient experience.

A Team of Equals
We know the more diverse the voices are around the table, the better the decisions will be in the end.
From our staff to our business partners, we’re dedicated to a culture that values our differences and enables anyone to rise, so long as their passion is the mission and their skills are Saint Luke’s strong.
As a result of our diversity and inclusion initiatives, Saint Luke’s has been recognized by the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce, Urban League of Kansas City, Project Equality, and The Kansas City Business Journal, which named the health system among the Best Places to Work.
More Than an Ally, An LGBTQ+ Leader
From our continued support for the Kansas City AIDS Walk as the first corporate sponsor to our growing transgender roadmap of care offerings, Saint Luke’s consistently shows its PRIDE as an ardent supporter of Kansas City’s LGBTQ+ community and beyond.
