"I am so glad you pointed out your need for diversity at Austin Health. I greatly value diversity. I grew up in a fairly homogeneous town. When I turned 18, it was important to me to learn about other cultures. I joined the Peace Corps to travel the world and immerse myself in other cultures. I worked with communities in Peru, Ecuador, Asia, and Russia. I learned so much about other people's customs and cultures and how similar people are in different parts of the world. I look forward to working with your diverse workforce here at Austin Health."

The interviewer wants to ensure that you accept other cultures and those with different backgrounds than your own. When employees do not embrace diversity, it causes many problems in the workplace. Show the interviewer that you are welcoming to all and will be a good fit for the company culture if hired.
