Health Fact Sheet
Latinos in Minnesota face the same health issues that other minority communities face. Such issues include affordable health care, preventative health, diet, immunization, and lack of seeking medical assistance. Additionally, another issue that Latinos face is culturally competent health care practices that have bilingual practitioners or practitioners culturally aware of the clientele. In an effort to increase more awareness on health issues, the CLAC will: Educate the Latino community on the importance of seeking health care when needed; Work with state agencies to ensure more cultural competent health care practitioners and workers in Latino communities; Serve as a conduit between the Latino community and Latino service providers; Assist with identifying the needs for medical and health care services to Latinos; Explore proven methods to help deter teenage pregnancy and the transmission of STDs and HIV; Maintain working relationships with state and community organizations that work on Latino health issues.
