This blog has been set up for a Cultural Competency Course I am taking. This is a place for me to learn about and explore specific health beliefs, behaviors, challenges and disparities with regard to Hispanic maternal/fetal/infant health. Please feel free to share, as you are inspired, any respectful comments, questions and feedback.

"Lorenza was born and grew up in Mexico; she is bilingual and began working as a community coordinator for the Cambridge Birth Center before it even opened in the mid-90s. Lorenza was instrumental in creating its doula program, which continues to serve a culturally diverse population." "When Lorenza excitedly describes her work helping women discover their strength, courage, and power during this significant moment in their lives, you can literally feel the depth of her passion and the intensity of her commitment."
