Introduction

St. Louis is home to the third fastest-growing foreign-born population among major U.S. metros, with an increase of 5,640 individuals (4.1%) from 2017 to 2018, totaling 141,894 as of 2019 (https://www.stlpr.org/government-politics-issues/2019-10-10/st-louis-region-has-third-fastest-growing-foreign-born-population-among-major-metros). This diverse community includes immigrants, refugees, and international students from countries like India, Mexico, China, and more (https://stacker.com/missouri/st-louis/biggest-sources-immigrants-st-louis).  With this rich mixture of cultures comes the need for cultural sensitivity in healthcare. Research shows that enhancing cultural competence among healthcare professionals significantly improves communication and patient outcomes (https://bmchealthservres.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12913-019-3959-7). Our initiative connects healthcare providers with diverse individuals, fostering relationships that promote understanding and respect. Through cultural workshops, eLearning, and interpreter training, we equip providers with essential skills. Studies indicate that these programs lead to improved knowledge, skills, and patient satisfaction.Join us in creating a healthcare environment in St. Louis that is inclusive and culturally competent. Together, we can ensure that every patient receives the compassionate care they deserve. Welcome to a community where every voice matters.
