Finding a way to meet the varied needs of a fast-growing multicultural population is essential to the continued success of our healthcare system. But how can this system grow and prosper when fewer than 10 percent of its doctors and nurses mirror the cultural or ethnic heritage of the patients they serve today? And how can healthcare professionals effectively treat their patients in the future as this cultural gap continues to widen?

The Center for Multicultural Competence in Healthcare Organizations (CMCHO) is an independent organization created to certify healthcare organizations in the area of multicultural competence. Using the standards developed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health, CMCHO conducts on-site surveys of healthcare organizations. Its members evaluate leadership attitudes, beliefs and behaviors; current policies and procedures; and resulting clinical outcomes.
