Cultural Competency
The Providers Guide to Quality & Culture reminds us that while culture is an essential mediator in people’s health status, culture is not the only factor that shapes us. Other factors including 
environment, economics, genetics, previous and current health status,and psycho-social factors exert considerable influence on our well-being. As a reminder of these compelling complexities, they use this symbol denoting the care that we all need to take to avoid stereotyping.
