      At Women’s College Hospital, diversity and inclusion are highly valued and there is representation from a wide range of individuals. I feel more relaxed working in this environment that I know appreciates differences and makes an effort to hear all voices. When people come together from different backgrounds, roles and experiences, I believe it will create the strongest voice. Lisa Lin, advance practice nurse
