Culturally Effective Care has been defined as: 

·     Care that does not vary in quality because of personal characteristics such as gender, ethnicity, geographic location, disability, and socioeconomic status.

·     Culturally Effective Care embraces the principles of equal access and non-discriminatory practices in service delivery.

·     Recognizing, respecting and incorporating patients’ and families’ background, values, beliefs and perspectives into a care plan.

This summit will include speakers and materials to increase awareness of topics related to diversity that are relevant to any practice.  The summit is free of charge and registration is limited.  Parking is complimentary for summit guests.  A boxed lunch will be provided at no cost.
