On October 17th, The Institute for Innovative Practice had the privilege of leading a workshop on Cultural Humility at the leadership retreat for Waterbury Hospital and ECHN. During the session, we explored the continuum of cultural competence and discussed how practicing cultural humility can build trust, enhance communication, and ultimately improve health outcomes. It was an inspiring experience, and we’re grateful to partner with Waterbury Hospital and ECHN as they continue fostering inclusive and compassionate healthcare environments.

Today, on Indigenous People’s Day, we honor and celebrate the rich history, culture, and contributions of Indigenous communities across the country and right here in Connecticut. We proudly recognize the Mohegan, Mashantucket Pequot, Schaghticoke, and Golden Hill Paugussett tribes, whose enduring presence and heritage have shaped the land we call home. We’d also like to celebrate the success of the Connecticut Sun and their amazing head coach, Stephanie White, who is Indigenous and a true leader both on and off the court! Let’s continue to learn from and uplift Indigenous voices today and every day. #IndigenousPeoplesDay #HonorNativeLand #CTTribes #ConnecticutSun #CelebrateDiversity
