Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Organizations and the Community: As our region is becoming increasingly diverse,
it is important that all individuals are being treated with respect and the community is embracing equity. To see how
individuals feel about the status of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), we asked them to rank how they feel their
organization or community is doing at addressing this, ranging from Very Satisfied to Very Dissatisfied. Exhibit 71 displays
these results. Professionals most commonly felt Very Satisfied by their organization’s dedication to DEI, followed by
Satisfied. However, community members felt mostly Neither Satisfied nor Dissatisfied by their community’s progress
toward DEI, followed by Satisfied.

Trusted sources of health information: The CHA also asked community members what sources they feel they can
access reliable information on health. Knowing these responses is particularly important in the midst of a pandemic,
where disseminating health information is vital. The results from this question are shown in Exhibit 72. The three most
commonly cited trusted sources of health information, according to the community members, were healthcare providers,
the state / local government, and local health system websites, respectively.
