SESSION DESCRIPTION
This session describes how a partnership between a community-based organization specializing in education and outreach to the Chinese community and an academic palliative care team have addressed language and cultural barriers to equitable serious illness care for Chinese Americans. This session features a didactic presentation describing the partnership, small group reflection to reflect on local barriers and facilitators to cross-sector partnerships, and large group brainstorming for how regional collaboratives can best address health inequities.
OBJECTIVES
- Describe examples for how partnerships between community-based organizations and health systems can practically collaborate to address serious illness care inequities.
- Apply facilitators of cross-sector partnerships to your local environment and recognize strategies to overcome potential challenges.
- Translate this coalition model to future regional collaboratives of serious illness stakeholders to improve the lives of other cultural communities living with serious illness.
