By the year 2050, the majority of the nation\u2019s residents will\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  be minority. Because health care organizations and providers are challenged with responding to the needs of individuals with culturally\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  diverse values, beliefs, and behaviors, a series of workshops will be scheduled for the purpose of building a culturally competent\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  healthcare system in Delaware. Culture influences many aspects of disease, including perception of illness, response to disease and\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  adherence with recommended treatment. Therefore healthcare providers need to be aware of and sensitive to those factors in order to\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  improve patient-provider interaction and healthcare delivery.
