Welcome to the home of the National Conference Series on Quality Health Care for Culturally Diverse Populations!

Here you will find information about the six national conferences held to date, updates on our plans for the Seventh National Conference currently slated for Fall 2010, and virtual resources and learning tools being developed by the Your Voice project of DiversityRx to help you stay connected between conferences.

With over 650 attendees and 250 presenters from the United States and 13 other countries, the 2008 conference on Quality Health Care for Culturally Diverse Populations was a terrific success.  Many people have told us what an exciting, inspiring and useful event it was. We credit this to an excellent group of presenters, moderators, sponsors and exhibitors, and to a high level of enthusiastic participation.
 

Our goal is to keep up the learning, networking and support that we all enjoy at each conference. Many attendees and presenters would like to continue the dialogue through a variety of virtual tools – teleconferences, webinars, listservs, website enhancements, and peer learning networks. We’ll keep you posted on our next steps.  

We're also making plans for the next conference, currently scheduled for FALL 2010.
