Learn how Children's National Hospital established a practice standard competency to support proper hair care and scalp assessment for hospitalized adolescents and children of every ethnicity. In alignment with its commitment to health equity, the Hair for You program ensures all patients can care for their hair in ways that are culturally congruent and informed by the biological needs of their hair texture.
Developed by an interprofessional team, this comprehensive curriculum and policy framework aims to increase equity, strengthen knowledge and attitudes, and improve care behaviors across the organization.
