CoE-IHS Webinar: CLAS Part 2 – Introduction to the Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Standards (CLAS)

The National Standards for Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services (CLAS) guide 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.
