We understand that each person’s journey is unique, and we strive to create an environment where everyone feels respected, valued and supported. From accommodating religious dietary requirements to offering bilingual support and culturally relevant services, we are committed to providing inclusive care to our diverse community.
Inclusion ensures that we are providing the highest quality of care for the patient and their family however their family is defined. Our paid staff and volunteers participate in education and conversations to support and understand the specific needs of the LGBTQ+ community. This education fosters open communication and trust between patients and their loved ones, and allows individuals to feel comfortable expressing their needs and preferences without fear of judgment or discrimination.
Whether it’s arranging spiritual counseling, facilitating visits from clergy members, or providing space for reflection, we create an environment that aligns with each person’s faith or traditions. From offering kosher meals for Jewish patients to providing guidance on end-of-life rituals for different religious denominations, our goal is that every individual receives the culturally sensitive care they deserve.
We believe that language should never be a barrier to receiving compassionate care. That is why we provide inclusive services that cater to the linguistic diversity of the community. Our Language Line is a service that helps connect our clinical staff members to a translator to facilitate communication and ensure that the voices of our patients and their loved ones are understood.
