Help Reduce Health Disparities for Hispanic or Latino Patients

Hispanic Americans are at greater risk of various health conditions due to a lack of preventive care, health insurance, and language barriers. In 2022, almost 28% of Hispanic adults didn’t have health insurance compared to Black (13.3%), White (7.4%), and Asian (7.1%) adults. During National Hispanic Heritage Month, increase your awareness of health disparities and learn about culturally and linguistically competent health care.
