In addition to practical aspects of navigating the healthcare system, the network focuses on edu- cating community members on their rights as patients, including the right to informed consent, confidentiality, and culturally competent care. By promoting health literacy and self-advocacy skills, the network empowers individuals to assert their needs, ask questions, seek second opinions, and actively participate in decisions about their healthcare. Cultural competence is a cornerstone of the network's educational approach, ensuring that infor- mation on accessing the healthcare system is delivered in a manner that resonates with the diverse backgrounds and experiences of the African American community. By acknowledging cultural nu- ances, historical context, and systemic disparities in healthcare, the network fosters a supportive en- vironment where individuals feel heard, respected, and valued in their interactions with healthcare providers.
Collaboration with healthcare professionals, community organizations, and advocacy groups is key to enhancing access to the healthcare system for African Americans.
