On behalf of Florida Department of Health’s Bureau of
Chronic Disease Prevention, Cancer Program and Office of Minority Health
APRIL IS NATIONAL MINORITY HEALTH MONTH
Please join us for a special live webinar panel discussion
in observance of Minority Health Month 2013 entitled: "Ethnic Diversity
and Cultural Competency in Cancer Care"
Providing cancer care to members of different racial or
ethnic groups and disadvantaged persons can pose tremendous challenges to
healthcare providers. Members of the cancer care team must respect and be
sensitive to issues related to a patient’s culture, race, gender, sexual
orientation, and socioeconomic status while providing optimal cancer care.
Many professional associations have emphasized the need to
provide culturally competent care; many have developed standards or guidelines
for delivering culturally competent services to increasingly diverse patients
and families. Effective cancer care is no longer possible without a working
knowledge and understanding of a person’s or group’s culture and background.
