In 2020, our I.D.E.A. Council was formed to develop initiatives that foster and promote a strong culture of inclusion, diversity, equity and action at Shirley Ryan AbilityLab. In partnership with our Executive Leadership Team, the 35 employees comprising the Council hail from various departments and diverse backgrounds. Currently, they are focused on initiatives that champion:
- Learning and Training
- Career Development
- Recruitment and Retention
- Health Equity

We’ve also made significant strides working in partnership with our Robert R. McCormick Foundation Center for Hope and Equity which exists to respond to the needs of Chicago’s underserved patient communities.
Our work is just beginning. Over time, the I.D.E.A. Council's goals and areas of focus will evolve to best support our patient and employee communities.
