Equal Employment Opportunity

This organization is committed to a policy of equal employment opportunity and to a program of affirmative action in order to fulfill that policy.

This organization will accordingly recruit, hire, train, and promote persons in all positions and ensure that all other personnel actions are administered without regard to unlawful criteria including race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, place of birth, sex, sexual orientation, disability, age, positive HIV-related blood test results, genetic information, gender identity or expression, or status as a disabled veteran, recently separated veteran, active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran, or Armed Forces service medal veteran (collectively “protected veterans”), as these terms are defined under applicable law, or any other factor or characteristic protected by law, and ensure that all employment decisions are based only on valid job requirements. This applies to all terms and conditions of employment including, but not limited to: hiring, placement, promotion, termination, layoff, recall, and transfer, leaves of absence, compensation and training.

In addition, New River Health Association recognizes that discriminatory harassment and sexual harassment are forms of unlawful discrimination, and it is, therefore, the policy of the organization that discriminatory harassment and sexual harassment will not be tolerated. The organization also prohibits unlawful harassment on the basis of other characteristics protected by law.
