“We’ve all heard by now that Hispanics are the fastest-growing and largest ethnic group in Washington state, but the health and well-being of Latinos hasn’t kept pace with the population growth and continues to be of great concern to all Hispanic communities.
Of late, I have personally witnessed some of the shortfall in the ability to serve the health-care needs of my own mother. Even with strong family support and our knowledge of how to access quality care for her, it is a daunting task to seek out the services and support to help meet her needs. Couple this with limited or no health insurance, plus language and cultural barriers, and it is clear to see that health care access for Hispanics is a significant issue for all of us.”
