Supplier Diversity

Cedars-Sinai has been serving the diverse L.A. community since 1902, establishing a legacy of inclusive care that we continue to build upon. Our Supplier Diversity Program supports this mission by inviting and integrating local diverse-owned suppliers into our supply chain—helping to diversify the ranks of our suppliers, strengthen our supplier pipeline and nurture a more inclusive and sustainable economy.

We’re committed to ensuring respect and integrity for all partnering businesses and have dedicated ourselves to practicing diversity and inclusion that extends beyond our walls and into our communities. We make every effort to be inclusive of all businesses regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, physical or mental disability, military and/or veteran status or any other basis protected by federal and state law. We believe the sum of this diversity enables us to successfully achieve our mission of connection and community outreach, "For All, By All."
