PY - 2015 T2 - CURRENT Diagnosis & Treatment: Family Medicine, 4e AB - Family physicians deliver care across the lifespan from infancy to the end of life, all within increasingly diverse communities. Many of these communities face existing and persistent health and healthcare disparities. Growing diversity and persistent disparities are among several arguments for the provision of care and services, which are patient-centered as well as culturally and linguistically appropriate. This may include decisions and actions that are congruent with the patient’s value systems and orientation to health and illness.
