Advancing Equity in Hispanic and Latino Communities: Strategies to Integrate Compassionate Care

Understanding the needs of diverse communities is the first step to providing compassionate care.

In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, join CareQuest Institute, in partnership with the Hispanic Dental Association, for a webinar that will explore that concept and how to advance oral health equity through community empowerment.

Our experts will offer insights on culturally centered interventions, innovative approaches to serving Latino and Hispanic populations, and leadership development within the Latino and Hispanic oral health community. They’ll also share actionable strategies to implement equitable care practices, including how best to collaborate with nonprofit clinics.

Learning Objectives

• Evaluate equity-driven strategies to increase representation and promote diversity in the oral health profession.
• Assess the needs of diverse communities and develop actionable plans to integrate compassionate care into daily operations within a dental practice.
• Recognize opportunities to collaborate with nonprofit community clinics and formulate strategies to expand access to care for underserved populations.
