Recognizing Disability Pride Month and National Disability Independence Day
Every July, we proudly recognize Disability Pride Month and, specifically, National Disability Independence Day on July 26. At Southcoast Health, we are committed to the full inclusion of all qualified individuals in the workforce and ensuring that people who are disabled (deaf, hard of hearing, deafblind, deaf-disabled, visually impaired, neurodivergent, orthopedically impaired, experience mental health or any other disabilities) are provided reasonable accommodation to perform their jobs.
Southcoast’s More Abilities Employee Resource Group (ERG) was established in support of this commitment. The More Abilities ERG’s mission is to make Southcoast Health a stronger organization by building a community that supports employees who have special needs or disabilities, as well as employees who are caretakers of people with special needs or disabilities and allies.
Southcoast Health earns significant recognition from Newsweek and Plant-A Insights Group as one of America’s Greatest Workplaces for Diversity 2024.

Employee Resource Groups at Southcoast Health
An Employee Resource Group (ERG) is a grouping of employees within an organization who share common interests or characteristics, such as ethnicity, race, sexual orientation or gender identity, disability, veterans, women, generations in the workplace, working parents, etc. ERGs are formed to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion within the workplace and to create a welcoming and supportive community for members.
ERGs provide an opportunity for employees to voice their perspectives and concerns, and to collaborate on initiatives that benefit the entire workforce. ERGs also demonstrate a commitment to creating an inclusive workplace culture. At Southcoast Health, there is often a patient and community focus as well.
Southcoast Health currently has 5 ERGs:
- More Abilities
- More Generations
- More Pride
- More Valor
- More Voices of Color
