Please
join us on Thursday, February 5 at 12:30 p.m. ET for a Healthy People 2020
Progress Review webinar featuring the Social Determinants of Health and
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Health topic areas. Progress Review
webinars are focused on tracking and measuring the progress of select Healthy
People 2020 objectives.To
be more effective, public health, health care, and prevention practitioners must
understand the cultural context of their unique community and possess the
skills and desire to work in those contexts. Cultural competence, the ability
of an individual or organization to interact effectively with people of
different cultures and backgrounds to produce positive change, is a key
component to achieving the Healthy People 2020 goal of reducing health
disparities and achieving health equity. This Progress Review webinar will
highlight the importance of social determinants of health and cultural
competence in working with LGBT and diverse populations to eliminate health
disparities and achieve health equity.
This
webinar will feature Senior HHS officials. Additionally, presenters from a
community-based organization will share their experience in offering culturally
competent care.
Free
continuing education credits (CME, CNE, CHES) are available!
