Supplier Diversity & Inquiries
Los Angeles Jewish Health is deeply committed to fostering an environment of diversity, equity, and inclusion. This includes the procurement practices followed at our Joyce Eisenberg-Keefer Medical Center. Our Supplier Diversity Program supports the engagement of small and diverse-owned businesses, including those owned by minorities, women, veterans, LGBTQ+ individuals, and persons with disabilities. By building relationships with a broad range of suppliers, we strengthen our supply chain, promote equitable economic growth, and reflect our ongoing commitment to advancing health and well-being in the communities we serve.
Our organization seeks to create meaningful partnerships with businesses that reflect the diversity of the communities we serve. In alignment with California’s Hospital Supplier Diversity Program (Health and Safety Code § 1339.85 et seq.), we are requesting that your business voluntarily provide information about its ownership and certification status.
Please take a few moments to complete and return this questionnaire. Your participation is entirely voluntary and will not affect your current or future status as a vendor with our organization. The information will be used for internal tracking, mandatory state reporting to HCAI, and planning efforts related to diversity in our supply chain.
If your business is interested in becoming a certified Diverse Business Enterprise, you can explore certification through the following websites.
