Standing with Asian Americans

Dear St. Anthony Residency family,

 

It’s been less than a year since we sent an email to all of you after the murder of George Floyd.  Today we are sending another email after the report this week of the horrible murders of 6 Asian-American women and 2 others near Atlanta.  We also know that there have been countless incidents of other aggressions towards Asian Americans, and even more during this past year of the Covid-19 pandemic.

 

We have many beloved members of the AAPI (Asian American/Pacific Islander) community among us - colleagues, providers, staff and patients.  We want to take a moment to acknowledge the pain they are experiencing and to express our commitment to help in any way we can.  Our words of support aren’t enough – we know we need to do more to be allies and improve our culture, even here within our walls. 

 

While we don’t have immediate solutions, please know we take this work seriously and care deeply that everyone in our community feels respected, valued and loved.  We will be working on a new approach to improve our communication around these and other issues (Respect for People) which we hope will be another positive step.  We truly appreciate the conversations we are having to move us forward in these goals!

 

In the meantime here are a couple of links with more information and some ways to show support.

The SAN Leadership Team and the DEI Committee
