On review of current A1c findings, there was a decrease in the percentage of patients who showed improvement. This is reflective of the most challenging patients we continue to work with. Moving forward, as more refugees representing increasingly diverse cultures come to our clinic, greater understanding of cultural nuances remains a challenge. Additional work is necessary to produce and accumulate more diverse educational materials to meet the health literacy needs of each patient.
Samuel U. Rodgers Health Center has earned the trust of our diverse communities and we are confident and proud of our ability to provide high quality, culturally-competent health care to our diverse patient population.
