Culturally Relevant Care

Culturally relevant care means providing healthcare that respects and honors a person’s cultural beliefs, values, and traditions. It involves understanding how cultural factors influence health behaviors and choices, and tailoring treatment accordingly. This approach helps build trust, improves communication, and ensures that care is respectful and effective for each individual’s unique background. In essence, it is about seeing patients as whole persons with cultural identities that matter to their health and well-being.
