Native American Heritage Month Recognition
The Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion is reaching out to Houston Methodist staff members interested in providing personal insight and comments in an upcoming edition of the DEI Corner on the significance of November’s designation as Native American Heritage Month. In addition, as we develop plans to honor the achievements and contributions of Native Americans, we are seeking input on culturally appropriate activities to engage fellow staff members in celebrating this month. If you are interested in offering your assistance or have any questions, please email us at theofficeofdei@houstonmethodist.org.
