Bicultural Scorecard for Healthcare Facility

We have successfully developed a North Mpls Clinics Resource List, and have done outreach to 2 clinics (Freemont Clinic and North Point Health Wellness Center) for partnership.  Our Partner Pathway Learning Center has taken the initiative to create a Scorecard that surveys clinics and health professionals who serve patients in North Minneapolis for their cultural competence level.   The Scorecard measures and collects information in regards to Cross-Cultural Collaboration and Green Prescription (Green Rx).   PLC has successfully:
