Healthcare Cultural Competency Train the Trainer Program for Horizon Affiliated NJ Hospitals Funded by the Horizon Foundation for New Jersey

“The healthcare cultural competency training was excellent. Our goal was to train the trainers for our hospital. We received excellent personal attention in a small group setting. The takeaway was a wealth of information plus tools we could reproduce, such as binders and computer discs. This training has made it easier for me to help plan exercises for staff in order to raise awareness about culturally sensitive care for our patients and their families.”
