Email UpdatesIn honor of Latinx Heritage Month, the Center of Excellence for Integrated Health Solutions (CoE-IHS) will host a conversation with health equity experts and providers sharing examples of culturally responsive integrated care services that support traditional healing practices among Latinx communities.
Prioritizing culturally responsive practices in integrated care can enhance whole-person care by addressing individuals’ diverse needs and preferences, which is especially important for those who are nearing their end-of-life journey. Acknowledging the cultural and spiritual dimensions of many individuals within Latinx communities honors their values and beliefs, while promoting holistic wellbeing during this significant life stage. Cultural sensitivity and collaboration between Western medicine and traditional cultural healing practices can be used to strengthen inclusive integrated care for patients and their families.
Join this webinar to discuss cultural barriers and solutions to providing holistic integrated care, and to share ideas for improvement. The conversation will primarily focus on end-of-life care, however, discussion about whole-person and whole-family care across the lifespan will be encouraged.
