Overview

• Donald Trump Jr. condemned Children's Hospital Colorado for requiring employees to complete a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training program called 'Destination Equity.'
• The hospital states that the training aims to enhance patient care and health equity by addressing unconscious bias and microaggressions among staff.
• President Donald Trump's administration has issued executive orders targeting DEI programs in government and federally funded institutions, calling them discriminatory.
• Seattle Children's Hospital reportedly renamed and restructured its DEI programs to comply with federal funding requirements while maintaining similar initiatives under different titles.
• Critics argue that DEI programs in hospitals divert resources from patient care, while supporters emphasize their role in addressing systemic inequities and improving outcomes.
