Culturally Responsive Care Webinar Series

Beyond Referral: Building Culturally Responsive Community Partnerships in Perinatal Care

Providing culturally responsive perinatal care requires more than referral lists and online resource searches, it requires authentic relationships with trusted community organizations and supports. This interactive session will explore practical approaches to building meaningful partnerships between healthcare professionals, doulas, and community-based organizations to strengthen culturally responsive, person-centered care for birthing people and families. Through discussion and real-world examples, participants will reflect on how trust, communication, and community connection influence care experiences and collaboration.
