DIVERSITY STATEMENT
The ADF and Knollwood is a premier residential and healthcare community for retired military officers and their eligible relations.
The Foundation provides excellent medical, social and psychological care, thus improving the lives of our residents and their families. The diversity of our community is a fundamental strength, and we embrace diversity as a valuable practice for our staff and residents.
Achieving diversity requires commitment to inclusion that is fully expressed in our organizational culture, values, norms and behaviors. We will support diversity in all of its forms, encompassing but not limited to age, disability status, economic circumstance, ethnicity, gender, race, religion and sexual orientation.
