Health Care

Provide the best patient-centered care possible.

Religion and spirituality can significantly influence patients’ experiences, needs, and medical decision-making within the health care system, yet these factors are not consistently addressed in patient care nor are they regularly included in health professional training. Tanenbaum’s Health Care program equips and empowers health care professionals and  institutions to provide religio-culturally responsive care to patients of all religions and none.

Our Offerings

When patients have more trust in their doctors, compliance and outcomes improve. And having your doctor look at you as whole person is a huge trust-booster.

Our trainings – workshops, grand rounds, conferences – have already reach thousands of health care professionals and the tens of thousands of patients they care for. We help them build strong relationships with patients and colleagues, based on respectful communication.

Tanenbaum offers a wide range of training opportunities to ensure that your facility is religio-culturally competent across all levels of the organization.

Health Care Trainings

Customized, interactive, case-study based health care training for your managers and employees. Trainings are available in-person or virtually.

Grand Rounds

Tanenbaum delivers Grand Rounds sessions to create interest in and awareness of the topic of religion and spirituality in health care or to hone in on a topic of particular relevance to the institution. These sessions highlight the ways in which the religious identities of patients and staff impact health care delivery and decision-making, and the respectful communication skills needed for identifying when, how, and why this is relevant to a patient’s treatment plan.

Consultation Services

Tanenbaum offers a wide range of consultation services to meet your organization’s needs. To ensure that new hires are prepared to operate in a religio-culturally competent manner, Tanenbaum assists institutions in creating orientation materials that reflect that mission and prepare new employees to become a vital part of the institution during the onboarding process. Tanenbaum also provides policy reviews to ensure that your organization has policies in place that support accommodations of religious expression and institutionalize religio-cultural competence while meeting legal requirements.
