About NCS Inclusion in Neurocritical Care

Inclusion in Neurocritical Care

NCS takes pride in how we seek and encourage inclusivity—it is our international nature and our multidisciplinary nature. Even looking across NCS volunteer leaders, we are proud to have a diverse collection of individuals who can represent so many perspectives. This is what makes NCS strong.

DEI Banner

NCS values the views of all society members. Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) are core attributes of NCS, which include supporting its members and ensuring high-quality and equitable care for the patients and communities NCS members serve.

To integrate our commitment to diversity into the culture and fabric of our society, we developed the NCS Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Statement.

NCS Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Statement

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are core attributes of the Neurocritical Care Society. Our goal is to cultivate an environment where everyone is welcomed and included, based on the firm belief that diversity is valuable and fosters innovation that enables us to achieve our mission; to serve our members as well as addressing the needs of an increasingly diverse society. The Neurocritical Care Society strives to support its members in providing high quality and equitable care for the patients and communities we serve. We also aim to support all members in their research, collaboration, training, education and advocacy efforts.

To realize this goal, the Inclusion in Neurocritical Care Committee's (INCC) charge is to:

Enhance leadership and research opportunities for individuals underrepresented in neurocritical care
Develop strategies to expand outreach and explicitly identify qualified individuals of diverse backgrounds to serve and thrive in the Society
Establish with the NCRC the infrastructure to study disparities in healthcare for underrepresented neurocritically ill patients

INCC will strive to create a DEI model to build and maintain a diverse society in discipline, demographics and years of service. We encourage you to reach out to any of the leadership in INCC or NCS if you want to be involved in this important initiative and committee.

We are continuing to develop resources, strategies and programs to realize the NCS DEI Statement.
