Duke puts renewed focus on Hispanic health care

“In response to a rapidly growing Hispanic population in the area, the University is currently seeking to alleviate Hispanics health care problems with a service-learning class and the Local Access to Coordinated Health Care program.

During the past 10 years, Durhams Hispanic community has increased by 500 percent and is becoming more stable, said Liliana Paredes, assistant professor of the practice of Spanish. She added that more Hispanics are now buying property and settling in Durham for a year or more.”
