Story Behind the Curve
The enhanced National CLAS Standards are intended to advance health equity, improve quality, and help eliminate health care disparities by establishing a blueprint for individuals as well as health and health care organizations to implement culturally and linguistically appropriate services.

To achieve this objective, MCHD will complete the following activities:
- Identify training options, including but not limited to, health equity, cultural competency, implicit bias, and social justice.
- Plan trainings for staff.
- Review frequency of trainings.
