Abstract

Family-centered care and cultural and linguistic competence are essential approaches to address the multiple strengths, needs, and preferences of this nation’s families who have children and youth with special health care needs. MCHB convened a meeting to explore ways in which family-centered care and cultural and linguistic competence could be integrated in a more effective manner to support and sustain a community-based system of services that are comprehensive, coordinated, and accessible and that provide the highest quality of care.
