Caring for Refugees and Immigrants- Through the Lens of Support Staff

Esther Kim, MD with Panel

Join us for a panel discussion with support staff from Ethne Health, a community clinic located in Clarkston, GA, a city dubbed the "most diverse square mile in the America." The staff will share how their previous work experiences, cultural and linguistic backgrounds, and their faith have helped them care for a diverse group of patients, with care provided in over 30 different languages. We hope their stories of hope and healing will be a catalyst to attendees to begin thinking about ways they can care for the refugees and immigrants in their communities.

Over the last two years we have seen and experienced how a lack of trust, limited information and past history can impact an individual’s ability to listen and ask questions about COVID-19 vaccinations and conversations around diversity. This session explores the top three fears white people and people of color have around discussing diversity in organizations. While engaging with these best practices to dismantle these fears, we will explore the importance of understanding and implementing psychological safety. Co-Presenter Jael Chambers
