Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) is proud to announce that it has been recognized by the 2025 Disability Index as a “Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion.” Disability:IN is the nation’s most comprehensive annual benchmarking tool used to survey employers’ disability policies, practices and initiatives. For the seventh year in a row, CHOP has earned the distinction of top-scorer.
“We are honored that CHOP has been selected as one of the Disability Equality Index’s ‘Best Places to Work for Disability Inclusion’ for the seventh straight year. This is a testament to all the contributions of our diverse staff; it is this commitment to inclusion and belonging, and all of our unique abilities, that makes CHOP such a great place to work,” said Gilbert Davis, Vice President and Chief Inclusion & Belonging Officer at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. “The areas of inclusion and belonging are integral parts of CHOP, and each day we are intentional in fostering it for all of our employees, patients, families, and community members that we serve.”
“It is great to see that CHOP is continuing to make strides in the area of creating a supportive space for employees with disabilities, who are a key, valuable part of the CHOP workforce,” said Hannah Anderson and Rain Hinkle, Co-Executive Officers of CHOP’s All Abilities Resource Group. “The designation of ‘Best Places to Work for Disability Inclusion’ shows our dedication to making CHOP a welcoming place where everyone can thrive.”
CHOP’s All-Abilities Resource Group (AARG) is an employee network, open to all CHOP employees, that works to develop and enhance CHOP’s culture of belonging by expanding the visibility of people with disabilities in the workplace and offering recommendations for adequate accommodations and resources for all employees and families.
CHOP champions numerous Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) and Clinical Advisory Groups (CAGs), which provide employees with opportunities to connect to the broader mission of the organization and ensure that the dimensions of inclusion and belonging are fully integrated throughout the hospital and CHOP Care Network.
Launched in 2015, the Disability Index has grown significantly and is acknowledged today as the most robust disability inclusion assessment tool in business.
