PPLM is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, and an equal opportunity employer that values a diverse workforce and a culture of inclusivity and belonging. Equity, diversity, and inclusion are core values at PPLM and a chance for us to make long-term, meaningful change. We are actively working to build a culture that reflects the communities we serve and embodies cultural humility, recognizing that advancing health equity begins within our own organization. We are taking steps to make progress in our own organization and are committed to building an equity practice in all aspects of our work.  

We believe that communities most impacted by health inequities must be centered in the work we do. Therefore, we strongly encourage applications from Black, Latinx, Asian, and Indigenous people of color, Trans and gender non-conforming people, LGBTQIA+ people, people with disabilities, and working-class people for all our positions.
