Friday Feels: Today's Quote is from Cynthia Archibald, PhD, ARPN, RN, Associate Professor at Florida Atlantic University. "Afro-Caribbean Americans receive health care in a world dominated by mainstream American or African-American ideals, while the framework and beliefs underlying Afro-Caribbean Americans health and healing are different. The challenge is for interventions to incorporate both perspectives in order to provide care and reduce health disparity in this population." Dr. Archibald's research sheds light on the urgent need for healthcare interventions specifically tailored to meet the needs of Afro-Caribbean Americans. By recognizing and incorporating their unique perspectives and beliefs, we can take significant strides toward achieving health equity in this population. Archibald's study further highlights the importance of acknowledging the dual identity experienced by Afro-Caribbean Americans, as well as their enduring experiences of disrespect. Their work underscores the necessity of implementing culturally specific healthcare approaches that not only improve engagement but also have a positive impact on health outcomes. We must prioritize addressing the unique needs of communities and their specific disparities and work towards creating a healthcare system that truly serves the diverse needs of all. No group is a monolith. We need to acknowledge that the promise of patient-centered healthcare in the US will not be met until we acknowledge the intersection of ethnicity, race, and culture that exist within larger identity groups.

Working toward #healthequity should be a goal every month, but the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) commemoration of #NationalMinorityHealthMonth is a critical reminder of the need to provide culturally competent care. The social drivers of health play an outsized role in shaping outcomes in minority communities, and we need to address this. We can do so by embracing diversity in our approach to care and fostering an environment where all patients feel supported to take an active role in managing their health. https://lnkd.in/eJ7zz2hW
