Purpose
The current health care system perpetuates inequities for many diverse children and families. With this grant, Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford will create a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Parent Mentor Program that will focus on Spanish-speaking parents with limited English proficiency, parents of children with developmental disabilities, parents of children in gender transition, and parents with differing faith and food practices. The team also will develop a training platform for use by other pediatric hospitals.
