As healthcare professionals, we often recommend services or products to help patients recover. It is important that we endorse and recommend services that come from people and companies that dedicate themselves to diversity, equity and inclusion. Here are some of those culturally sensitive services you can recommend.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Food Heaven Made Easy:<\/a> Join BFF’s and registered dietitian nutritionists Wendy Lopez and Jessica Jones as they talk to different health & nutrition experts about how we can live healthier, more balanced lives. I’ve worked in hospitals, private practice, community nutrition, and outpatient clinic settings and on average, about 60 to 75 percent of my clients have been women of color. So many of my patients are very appreciative to see a dietitian that looks like them and makes an attempt to understand their culture, food preferences and barriers to behavior changes. For example, many of my patients have an extremely limited income, and healthy foods like salmon and avocados may be too expensive for them to eat on a weekly basis. Likewise, it’s common practice to recommend an outdoor walk as physical activity, but many providers don’t realize that some people don’t feel safe walking around their neighborhoods after work.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

CSD Unites: <\/a><\/p>

They want to create a better world for deaf and hearing of hearing people.<\/p>

At CSD, we’re not just a deaf organization – we’re a people organization. Our goal is to improve people’s lives. Since our very first beginnings in a broom closet office in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, our goal has been to connect people so that they can thrive, together. In this spirit, we believe that it is our responsibility to ensure equity for everyone. We are unwavering in our resolve to build an equitable world and see people thrive in the context of their varied identities across race, disability, gender<\/span>, age, religion, identity, and experience. We’re doing our best to get it right, even though we know we may get it wrong at times. We’re out to transform ourselves, our community, and our world, even though we know lasting change takes time. Part of their organization, DeafCAN! is an integral part of the First World Deaf Refugee Day Conference June 10-13, 2021 at the beautiful Ware Center in Lancaster. Deaf refugees and immigrants from more than 20 countries will be the leads in most of the presentations and entertainment. <\/span>
