Overview:
-
At MU Health Care, we strive to provide inclusive care that respects the cultural and personal identity of every patient, including their hair care needs. In collaboration with our African Heritage Employee Resource Group (ERG) and supply chain teams, we have introduced a hair care initiative to support patients with curly and textured hair.
Why This Matters:
-
For many individuals, hair is a significant part of their identity, culture, and overall well-being. Proper hair care can impact a patient's comfort, self-esteem, and mood. Our mission is to ensure that all patients, regardless of hair type, feel welcomed and respected during their time with us. This initiative offers products and education to help care teams provide the best care for all hair types.
