Caregiver Diversity and
Well-being Committee
The Diversity and Well-Being Committee (DWBC) is a Caregiver centered committee focused on empowering our Caregivers in leading diversity, equity and inclusion and well-being initiatives for our patients, for our community, and for our own Caregivers. This committee meets once a month to reflect, share resources, plan upcoming events, and network with other Providence Caregivers.
