"When plans were being made to settle a community of refugees from Burma(Myanmar) in Rome, I realized that our hospital staff members would need education in order to meet the healthcare needs of this population in a culturally sensitive way. I turned to COMPASS for assistance. The educational experience that they provide is unique. No other agency in the area has educators with their level of expertise working with refugee populations. The classes provided background information on the history and struggles of the refugees as well as insight into their culture and traditions. The classes helped our employees shape attitudes and gain practical tips for interacting and providing healthcare to the refugee population. I highly recommend the Cultural Competency Training provided by COMPASS." ~ Gale Barone, RN, Director of Education, Rome Memorial Hospital
