Supporting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

At Fairfield Dermatology, we serve the diverse group of patients that make up our community between Bridgeport, Westport and beyond. In the wake of the movement for racial justice, like so many others across the country and the world, we are engaging in the process of acknowledging and learning about the necessity to bring about meaningful change in our communities and our country. This moment in time is about supporting our Black and Brown patients, staff and the Black Community at large.

Fairfield Dermatology is a small business and a minority- and women-owned dermatology healthcare practice. We truly cannot understand the discrimination others experience. We strive to listen and do our best to be part of the solution.

Therefore, we pledge to:
1. Stand in solidarity with the Black Community now and always
2. Speak out when we see injustice
3. Empathize with the pain, fear, anxiety and anger so many are feeling
4. Listen
5. Have the courage to have the difficult conversations
6. Not tolerate intolerance from our patients, staff or providers

For our part, we have already incorporated implicit bias training and will continue to do so throughout our organization. We will continue working to clear our blind spots, and we recognize the need to address them within ourselves first if we are committed to seeing real change in the world. Our practice is built on the principles of positivity, teamwork, responsibility, communication and respect. We will continue to strive toward these goals in support of the Black community and across all civil liberties.
