Building a more inclusive future of care, together
At the heart of Wellthy's mission lies a profound understanding: care is universal, but access to care support is not.
For Wellthy and our DEI Council, this means recognizing and celebrating the many dimensions of human experience. Each difference enriches our understanding of today's families and strengthens our ability to serve them better.
Equity drives us to create and maintain systems that ensure fair access to support, resources, and opportunities for all. At Wellthy, this means fostering a culture where diverse perspectives shape how we design and deliver care support, and how we show up for one another as colleagues and partners in our mission.
Our commitment is to understand these challenges deeply and work tirelessly to help families overcome them. In doing so, we create a more dynamic, innovative Wellthy where every team member can bring their full self to this important work.
Take care,

Mission, vision, and impact
The DEI Council's mission goes beyond words into meaningful action. We help implement and track progress on Wellthy's DEI initiatives by fostering open communication, trust, and accountability. As a representative body, we work to bridge gaps and ensure every voice can be heard and find a place to belong.
Three key pillars guide our focus:
Inclusive healthcare experience
We're committed to enhancing the accessibility and inclusivity of Wellthy's platform and services. This includes developing programs that bring diverse perspectives into our work, improving platform accessibility for all users, and ensuring our external communications reflect our commitment to serving every family's unique needs.
Attract and retain the best team
Building an inclusive workplace starts with how we bring people in and support their growth. We're developing comprehensive training programs, creating opportunities for meaningful engagement in DEI initiatives, and implementing tools to measure our progress toward equity goals.
One unified Wellthy team
We believe in the power of connection and community. Through regular roundtable discussions, volunteer opportunities, and community outreach, we're creating spaces for authentic engagement and learning. These efforts champion underrepresented voices while strengthening our internal culture of belonging.
Building community, growing together
Our employee-led affinity groups create spaces where team members can connect, grow, and drive meaningful change. These vibrant communities foster belonging, support professional development, and help shape a more inclusive Wellthy where everyone can thrive.
