City of Richmond Business Spotlight

At OakBend Medical Center, we are dedicated to ensuring equitable care for every patient we serve. We actively work to identify and reduce health care disparities by collecting and evaluating data related to race, ethnicity, preferred spoken and written languages (for patients and legal guardians), sexual orientation, gender identity, and ability status.

These insights help guide our efforts to deliver respectful, inclusive, and responsive care. By measuring the impact of these efforts, we continuously improve health outcomes and experiences for all members of our community.
