BlackDoctor.org (BDO), is honoring several hospitals for diversifying their administrative and clinical employees at the BDO’s Top Hospitals For Diversity Award Luncheon. The event will take place at the Milken Institute School of Public Health at the George Washington University, 950 New Hampshire Ave., NW, from 8:30 AM-1:30 PM.

In highlighting the significance of the top hospitals list, BDO CEO Reginald Ware exclaims, "Our 19 million-plus audience places a great importance upon cultural humility and sensitivity when it comes to the entire healthcare delivery system. Our users have expressed a strong desire for us to point them in the right direction to providers and companies who excel in these areas. Organizations who are working hard to see that everyone is treated fairly, regardless of race or creed, are highlighted here. This important list is our means of recognizing the best institutions, while also paying homage to those values."
