If you share our values and our enthusiasm for service, you will find a home at Children's Mercy. We hire qualified people from a wide variety of backgrounds, not just because it’s the right thing to do, but because it makes our hospital stronger, our patient care more compassionate, and our research better. We know that our greatest strengths come from the people who make up our team. Our patients and families come from all walks of life, and so do we. Christopher Thomas – Education & Learning Program Manager – Equity & DiversityĬhildren’s Mercy is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workforce. I’m proud of the work I do here because it helps contribute to the experience of our patients and families. Whether it is through diversity training, hosting educational learning opportunities, or providing staff with resources, my hope is that I am able to equip CM employees with the language and tools necessary to provide quality healthcare for all of our patients regardless of race, gender, sexual and gender identity, language, ability, religious, or socioeconomic status. My role focuses on helping train and develop our hospital staff at all levels in providing exceptional and equitable care to our patients and families.
Working at the very hospital that saved my life is one of the best parts of my job. My mother always talks about the incredibly kind people she met-the nurses who watched after me so she could go home to shower, the volunteers who helped her navigate the hospital, the food service workers who came into my room with the biggest smiles.
I had open heart surgery and was in recovery at CM for about 2 weeks. Doctors discovered that I had a tumor attached to my thymus gland and it was putting pressure on my heart. When I was 11, I came here as a patient to receive life-saving measures. I am a Program Manager of Education and Learning for the Office of Equity & Diversity but my relationship with CM really began years ago.
