Health Conference Focuses on Best Ways to Serve Hispanic Population - Leaders Exchange Ideas on Legislation, Partnerships at Community Forum - San Diego

“To create a dialogue on serving the health-related needs of these individuals, the San Ysidro Health Center sponsored the first Latino Health Leadership Summit on Oct. 12-13 at its operations complex on 30th Street in San Diego.

The major theme of the summit was how to create effective methods for all Hispanics in California to have access to health care, whether or not they have insurance coverage.

According to demographic research based largely on Hispanic population growth and economic conditions from the La Fe Policy & Advocacy Center in San Antonio, health disparities are increasing, and a large proportion of diseases and disorders are predicted among the Hispanic population in the next 10 to 20 years. Also, to better serve the health needs of the Hispanic population, the number of health professionals would have to triple, according to La Fe, which advances social and health policies and programs and participated in the recent Latino health conference.”*
