Resources for Cross Cultural Health Care

Health care providers
are increasingly compelled by demographic changes, state and Federal policies, and business opportunities to improve services to ethnically and culturally diverse communities. With government and community guidance, many organizations are responding to these forces with new programs and practices to increase health care access and enhance quality. Building on the broad base of collaboration and innovation established at our 1998 conference, the Second National Conference on Quality Health Care for Culturally Diverse Populations highlighted federal, state, and local initiatives through plenary sessions, and offered opportunities for skills development and interactive discussions in workshop sessions. The core objective of the conference was to address the challenges and successes of implementing culturally competent services through dialogue and networking, and to use participant input to advance a national policy agenda.

Conference sessions
this 3-1/2 day meeting included:

intensive skills-building workshops designed to encourage participant interaction
plenary sessions with national leaders speaking on the latest trends, practices, and policies
strategy development and problem-solving sessions
a resource center featuring exhibits, poster sessions, and roundtables to facilitate networking
