Our commitment to DEIA aligns with our purpose, influences our behaviors, and sets our strategy
We’ve worked to build a foundation and integrate DEIA work from Point32Health’s two heritage organizations with our future aspirations in our comprehensive, enterprise-wide DEIA strategy. We believe that cultivating a diverse and inclusive workforce and continuing to increase equity and accessibility helps to create better DEIA & health equity outcomes for everyone.
Learn more below and within our 2023 Impact Report, which highlights examples of how we are working together to build a lasting community of care, living our shared values and fulfilling our purpose to guide and empower healthier lives for everyone.
We’ve had a long-standing commitment to advance DEIA & health equity.
Point32Health is uniquely positioned to leverage forward-thinking research through our 30-year partnership with the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute, a research and teaching collaboration between Point32Health and Harvard Medical School. As the nation’s first medical school appointing department based in a health plan, the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute’s mission is to improve health care delivery and population health through research and education — locally, nationally, and internationally — in partnership with health plans, delivery systems, and public health agencies.
For Point32Health, corporate citizenship is more than philanthropy; it is everything we do: products and services that address health disparities, business practices that advance equity and inclusion and community engagement that is relevant and responsive to addressing what communities need. It’s how we show up in community, how we treat our colleagues and how we act on our company’s values. Grants, matching gifts, sponsorships, in-kind and other donations from Point32Health and our Foundation are ways that we support nonprofit organizations. Learn more about Point32Health’s commitment to community.
Everything we do points to health equity. We believe health equity affects everything and everyone. Our approach to health equity is centered on ensuring access to high-quality, affordable health care and opportunity for everyone to attain their full health potential.
Our culture is grounded in caring for each other. Our shared values set the stage for how we live our culture at Point32Health, shaping our individual and collective behaviors. These values represent our shared beliefs for how we make decisions, how we measure performance and how we drive accountability to achieve our vision to guide and empower healthier lives for everyone.
We accelerate our culture of DEIA through CRGs. Our nine CRGs are open to all colleagues within Point32Health. CRG members help to shape an inclusive work environment, create space for dialogue and learning across differences, share business insights, and provide development, networking and mentoring opportunities.
We advance inclusion in partnership with people with disabilities. When experiences are disability-inclusive, we increase the creativity, innovation and engagement of everyone. We recognize and value the importance of accessibility and the value created when equitable environments enable people with disabilities to easily, independently and fully engage and contribute.

We work with organizations with shared commitment. We continue to build upon our diverse legacies and innovative collaboration by meeting people where they are and being alongside them throughout their health care journey.
We create economic opportunities for small and diverse business–and they strengthen our business value and drive competitive advantage. We actively pursue the ongoing inclusion of minority, women, veteran, LGBT and people with disability-owned businesses, as well as small business enterprises in Point32Health’s Economic Inclusion and Supplier Diversity Program.
Our diverse workforce is up for the challenge. Our commitment to cultivate diverse representation throughout our organization starts with our CEO, Board of Directors and senior leaders and expands throughout our organization.
There’s urgency and importance in our DEIA & health equity work ahead. We are ready.
