Cultural Competency in Healthcare At Genentech, we explicitly include diversity as a part of our mission to extend and improve the lives of patients with unmet medical needs. Through collaborations with our DNA Groups, Genentech works to increase cultural competency, in other words, to support the health beliefs, practices, cultural and linguistic needs of diverse patient populations. We sponsor, partner and advertise with specific local organizations to help bridge the multi-ethnic healthcare gap. Below is a partial list of local organizations with whom we have worked:

• Latinas Contra Cancer
• Sisters Network
• African American Health Summit
• Asian American Donor Program
• American Heart Association, Heart Walk
• American Cancer Society, Relay for Life
• African American Community Health Advisory Committee
• California Transplant Donor Network
• California Medical Association Foundation
