This Web site has resources to improve culturally competent health care. Developed by Stratis Health and funded by UCare, it is the first Minnesota-focused online resource devoted to the subject. Among the site's tools is a free assessment for health care organizations to determine how well they meet the federal Office of Minority Health's national Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services standards. It also has information on enhancing culturally sensitive services and understanding specific patient populations.
