Making Room for Cultural Humility
May 3 @ 3:40 pm – 4:50 pm
Home Care and hospice agencies must ensure Black, Latina, Asian, LGBTQIA+, and other underrepresented communities are heard. We need to make room for diverse talent as we navigate the 21st Century. Making room does not mean others going mute; there are more opportunities to look at how we navigate our shared ecosystem and lifelong learning, which translates as cultural humility. All care provided should be patient-focused and embody a culture of humility to assure that caregivers have a greater understanding of different cultures and that they recognize each patient’s unique cultural experience. Today’s leaders must empower marginalized voices to take a more active stance, and that will require all leaders to examine their respect towards cultural backgrounds and experiences critically.
