The Business Employee Resource Groups (BERGs)

Our Business Employee Resource Group (BERGs) program is comprised of communities of Northwell team members who help support our culture of inclusion, belonging and health equity. These groups are open to all, and provide professional and personal development to their members, foster a sense of community and organizational awareness, support our community-based partners to address social determinants of health, and help promote health equity initiatives at Northwell.

Our current BERGs include:

Bridges

Members embrace relationship building through education, understanding and supporting the cultural, spiritual and ethical values of the communities we serve. Bridges BERG segments are open to all, and include Mosaic (Multicultural), Asian, African American/Caribbean, and Hispanic/Latino.

Caregiver

Supports team members who are family caregivers. Members share available resources, build a sense of community and foster a culture that helps manage the responsibilities of those who serve as caregivers.

Expressions

Members include individuals who identify as LGBTQIA+ and allies of the LGBTQIA+ community. They are passionate about advancing unity and health equity through an inclusive workplace and helping connect the community with services based on their unique healthcare needs.

GreenBERG

Members are focused on the environmental impact of Northwell’s operations. They leverage sustainable and socially responsible initiatives in the workplace and in our communities, with a focus on recycling, transportation and energy efficiency.

N-Able

Members include people with disabilities, caregivers, clinicians, and allies who are advocates and advisors on issues of acceptance, inclusion, and belonging. They share resources and promote inclusive employment, exceptional patient and team member experience, and health equity for those living with a disability.

VALOR

Members are focused on connection, empowerment and engagement among Veterans, their family members, and those who support them. The VALOR (Veterans and Allies Liaisons of Reintegration) BERG helps empower the military community to utilize Northwell services and engage individuals in impactful missions that produce positive outcomes.

Women at Northwell

Members are focused on creating a community of support, helping develop future leaders at Northwell and advancing health equity and education for women in our communities.

Gift of Life

Members help inspire others to give the gift of life through organ and tissue donation (deceased and living) – blood, stem cell, bone marrow, tissue, eye and cornea donation. They provide education on living donation and raise awareness to increase organ donor registrations within our workplace and communities.

Multifaith and Spiritual Care

Cultivates respect and understanding across all spiritual beliefs and faiths. Through educational events and celebrations, members explore their spiritual perspectives, enhance cultural understanding and promote compassionate care.

Intergenerational

Members work to bridge generational gaps by fostering a culture of collaboration, understanding and knowledge sharing. Mentorship programs and educational events enable members to exchange insights on work styles and communication approaches, helping to advance inclusion and belonging.
