Healthcare Facilities

History of ING Presentations in Healthcare Facilities, 2000-present

As the population of the United States has grown increasingly multicultural, providing quality healthcare services to this diverse population has become more challenging. To enhance healthcare professionals’ understanding and interaction with Muslim patients and their families, ING offers a two-hour presentation called Healthcare for the Muslim Patient. The seminar provides a brief overview of religious and cultural practices as well as topics specific to healthcare providers, including diet, gender issues, birth and death considerations, and the Islamic view of blood transfusions, abortions, autopsies, and other common healthcare issues. Since 2000, ING has delivered the following presentations in various venues in the San Francisco Bay Area.
