For over 30 years, the Cross Cultural Health Care Program has worked to transform health care systems by supporting health care and human services organizations and teaching providers, leadership teams, and staff so they can offer more culturally competent, equitable, and inclusive care. At CCHCP, we:

• train medical interpreters so that patients can understand health information in their own language and cultural context, communicate effectively with providers, and navigate complex health systems.
• help clinicians and other health care and human services professionals develop cultural humility and inclusive care skills to eliminate health disparities.
• strengthen organizations’ competency toward more equitable and inclusive practices through consulting and training services.

For more information about our programming, see our website.

Opportunities and Essential Responsibilities of ED

CCHCP is undergoing an exciting period of evolution as we aim to strengthen our ability to promote equity and access in the health care field. As more health care organizations embrace the critical need for culturally appropriate services, we are building our capacity to meet this moment and to ensure that more organizations see CCHCP as experts in this field. We are seeking an Executive Director (ED) to lead CCHCP into its next phase, increase the organization’s visibility locally and nationally, and continue to build our strong staff team as we execute on our mission and grow our impact.
