Commitment to Equity

As an organization, we focus on equity by providing tools and resources to reduce societal and systemic barriers experienced by underrepresented groups. When we can identify and eliminate these obstacles, we better serve the needs of our diverse participants, their families and caregivers, our volunteers and supporters, and residents and advocates in the communities we serve. We believe this positions Iona to grow and reach more people who need help by expanding current services and developing new ones in partnership with those who seek our services.
