Leadership & Experience
Atlas executives and consultants have led and participated in cultural competence assessments, training, research, seminars, and symposia spanning the public and private sectors, from matters of health care to national security. We are recognized thought leaders in the intricacies of the Veterans and Military Health Systems, with specialized expertise in women’s and rural health, and possess the ability to leverage a deep reservoir of health disparities consulting and research experience.
The Washington DC Veterans Affairs Medical Center engaged Atlas to provide planning, content development, and logistical support in the production of its Cultural Competence Grand Rounds Series. These events encourage the spirited exchange of ideas, promotion of community, and the provision of culturally competent, patient-centered care.
In addition, Atlas also played an integral role in the Sioux Falls VA Medical Center Patient-Centered Care Innovations project, conducting a baseline assessment of cultural sensitivity, and making recommendations to address organizational areas of strength and areas that required improvement relating to changes in policy, patient assessments, and staff training.
The Atlas Cultural Competence Strategic Advisory Group is a brain trust of physician executives, researchers, public and business administrators, sociologists, and policy analysts who provide strategic vision for the firm’s cultural competence consulting engagements. With reach-back capability to leading academic institutions and health care organizations, and expansive knowledge of the cultures of the Veterans and Military Health Systems, Atlas is recognized as a trusted partner for delivering customized cultural competence solutions. |
