The Sanford Health human resources department in Bismarck, North Dakota, makes a strong effort to support and inspire people with disabilities by working with them to achieve employment goals.
Those efforts were recently recognized with a North Dakota State Vocational Rehabilitation Employer of the Year Award from the North Dakota Department of Human Services.
“This means a great deal to Sanford Health,” said D.J. Campbell, executive director of human resources for the Bismarck region of Sanford Health. “Being able to find employment for disabled individuals not only has a big impact on the community, but it also helps us with our workforce shortages that we’re currently experiencing.”
The Americans with Disabilities Act is celebrating its 32nd birthday in the summer of 2022. Enacted in 1990, the ADA is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life. The purpose of the law is to make sure that people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else.
