Shannon Bradley will develop strategies to recruit a diverse workforce and ensure culturally sensitive care for patients.
Former HCA Healthcare executive Shannon Bradley has been named Keck Medicine USC's first chief diversity and inclusion officer, effective Sept. 26.
Previously, Bradley was the assistant vice president/division director of diversity, equity and inclusion for HCA's Gulf Coast Division in Houston, where she increased the diversity of the health system’s board members for Asian and Black members by 45% and 24% respectively.
At Keck, Bradley will develop strategies to recruit a diverse workforce and ensure culturally sensitive care for patients, and will lead diversity, equity and inclusion efforts already in progress at the health system and create and track metrics to measure these efforts, the health system says.
"With Bradley onboard, we are confident that Keck Medicine can progress even further on its journey to inclusion," says Smitha Ravipudi, MPH, CEO of USC Care Medical Group and chair of Keck Medicine's Diversity & Inclusion Steering Committee. "Together, we will create a lasting road map for change."
