What is the cultural profile of Methodist Hospital’s service population?
Methodist Hospital, and hence the main hospital for the residency program, serves an ethically, culturally, and economically diverse population. Our patients represent 50 major cultural groups and more than 12 major languages. The hospital provides broad based interpreter support. It is also the pivotal hospital within the Greater Meadowview Area Council. The Council is a collaboration of local ethnic and cultural special interest groups, who have joined collaboratively to improve the overall quality of life in the southern suburbs. Using what is called the Healthily Community Strategy, (similar to Community Oriented Primary Care, but expanded to include such public services as safety, transportation, education, and community development), Methodist Hospital is broadly represented in this coalition, and residents will have multiple opportunities to interact intimately with the community through this vehicle.
