“When I think of serving patients, my goal is always to address the entire person. Understanding what makes all of us unique is so important when thinking about providing holistic care. HEDI training helps all health care workers become more mindful of these differences. This growth and education translates to each patient getting the holistic, culturally-informed care they need, to attain their best health.”
