This month, we have been uplifting the voices of our LGBTQ+ colleagues, educating allies on queer history and commemorating the spirit of resistance –and resilience –with which Pride began.

Jazz employees came together last week for a virtual, global celebration in honor of Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, led by our All Dimensions of Diversity Employee Resource Team and our Pan-Asian affinity forum.

Celebrate Diversity Month is a timely opportunity to help diverse communities of people gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of each other and to encourage conversation and education on the importance of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in our workplaces.

As COVID-19 changes our world, it has never been more critical for leaders within our industry to share insights, key learnings and best practices to develop solutions that redefine possibilities for the patients we serve.

Women have played an essential role in the battle against COVID-19, accounting for the majority of frontline workers¹ and leading valuable response efforts within many communities and organizations. Still, the pandemic is chipping away at hard-won advances in gender equality.

Sleep Awareness Month is an opportunity to educate ourselves and others about how sleep disorders can disrupt the daily lives of people living with these conditions. Each year, I think about the conversations I’ve had with patients, families and advocacy groups, reflecting on the progress we’ve made, the challenges patients still face and the opportunities we have to support this community in innovative ways.
