This project examines whether or not Culturally Concordant Care has an impact on the African immigrant population in Southwest Philadelphia through a Community Health Needs Assessment. Though previous research has shown that in many cities across the country, the African immigrant population suffer from disproportionate rates of chronic diseases (ex: Hepatitis B, hypertension, and diabetes) and high rates of stress, the use of culturally concordant care has not been adequately addressed as a method of combatting these disparities. Our preliminary findings suggest that there is a strong value placed on patient-centered communication, whether or not the provider has a shared identity to the patient. Being able to have needs listened to, medical information explained in terms understandable by the patient, and plans for future treatment that can be feasibly incorporated into the patient’s existing lifestyle proved to be more important than a shared identity between a patient and their provider.
