Small towns trying to deal with growing Hispanic population – Hanover, Pennsylvania
Tagged: border, Pennsylvania, Peru, populationPosted on: July 1st, 2007“Encouraging Hispanics to get flu shots in this rural community just five miles from the Maryland border was a tough sell for Gino Salazar.
Whenever the part-time community health worker at Hanover Hospital told them about the hospitals vaccination clinics, they resisted, fearing the shots would make them sick. But when the hospital took the clinics to churches with predominantly Hispanic congregations late last year — with Mr. Salazar, a native of Peru, making a pitch at the Sunday services — they came in droves.”
