“The need for private practitioners and clinics serving the Hispanic community, especially expectant mothers, is growing with that population, local health officials say.

“Since 2004 our Hispanic clients have increased from 5.7 percent to 9.1 percent in 2006, and we expect it to continue to grow,” said Kasey Poole, spokeswoman for the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Department. “We’ve seen a lot of growth in all our services, but particularly prenatal care.”"*
