"The pandemic has either unveiled or highlighted a lot of the racial disparities that exist within our health system and language access is one of them... Let's not just fill in a gap, let's go back to the source. Let's look at when things were being built and created and that's where language access needs to be in the forefront of the conversation."
Join us as we talk with Izzy Meda, the Executive Director at Familias en Acción, about the importance of community health workers and community-based organizations in the fight for health equity for Latinos. This Thursday, the 13th Annual Latino Health Equity Conference will celebrate The Power of Community while addressing the gaps and changes needed in the healthcare system.
