CoE-IHS Webinar: CLAS Part 1 - History and Purpose of the CLAS Standards

The National Standards for Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services (CLAS) guides health care providers in tailoring their services so they are responsive to the health beliefs, practices and needs of diverse individuals and communities. Using the CLAS framework can improve health literacy, reduce health disparities, advance health equity and improve the overall wellbeing of your patients and clients.

Join us on Wednesday, Sept. 28, 3-4 p.m. ET for the first session in the CLAS Standards Webinar Series to learn about the history and purpose of the CLAS standards and the benefits of implementing them in integrated care settings. This session will also provide resources and strategies to support the integration of culturally and linguistically appropriate practices and policies within health care settings.

After this webinar, participants will be able to:
• Discuss the history and purpose of the CLAS standards.
• Identify strategies for advocating for CLAS standards within communities and organizations.
• Explain the benefits of implementing the CLAS standards within integrated health care settings.
Describe the importance of CLAS standards in integrated care settings.
