ACE (Affirming Care for Everyone) Model

The Affirming Care for Everyone (ACE) Model is a framework designed to promote inclusive and supportive healthcare for all individuals, particularly those from marginalized communities. It emphasizes understanding and respecting patients’ identities, experiences, and needs, ensuring they receive care that affirms their dignity and promotes their well-being. The ACE Model encourages healthcare providers to create safe environments, practice cultural competence, and engage in open communication. This approach aims to reduce health disparities and improve health outcomes by fostering trust and collaboration between patients and healthcare professionals.
