About Us

Sponsored by the HHS Office of Minority Health, Think Cultural Health (TCH) is an initiative dedicated to improving the health and quality of care for racial and ethnic minority populations and American Indians and Alaska Natives. TCH offers free continuing education opportunities, information, resources, and more to help public health and health care professionals provide services that are responsive to the cultural beliefs, values, backgrounds, and linguistic needs of the individuals and communities they serve.

Think Cultural Health

Launched in 2004, TCH supports the Office of Minority Health's statutory mandate to:

Build the capacity of health professionals in addressing cultural and linguistic barriers to care.
Improve access to health care for individuals with limited English proficiency.
Advise in matters related to the development, implementation, and evaluation of health professionals' education in improving health care outcomes.

TCH is an important resource that supports the health priorities of the Administration by providing training materials focused on health promotion and disease prevention in culturally and linguistically appropriate ways to ensure individuals, families, and communities are healthy and thriving.
