VISION FOR THE FUTURE

LifeLabs’ vision is to ensure that all individuals feel accepted, respected, and valued by fostering an equitable and inclusive culture for our team members, customers, and partners. We will continue to solicit feedback to recognize and address our blind spots and take strides to mitigate bias in our systems, communications, and processes. Our day-to-day practices reflect our core values and who we are, and we will continue to work diligently to foster an inclusive and equitable culture and bring that sense of inclusion and belonging everywhere and anywhere we do business.

At LifeLabs, diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility are at the core of who we are, and our value of caring guides all that we do to support our customers, colleagues, and communities. We are committed to doing the work required to foster an inclusive and equitable environment where everyone is able to thrive, because we know that the unique perspectives, traditions, and values that our diverse employees bring to work makes LifeLabs better. As Co-Chair of the DE&I Steering Council, I am proud of the support, partnerships, and resources LifeLabs provides to employees, and the space it creates for everyone to show their pride.
