Nuestra Salud: Addressing Latino Health Equity in Treating Chronic Conditions

While Latino Americans continue to make advancements in health access and equity, our communities are still disproportionately impacted by chronic health conditions like diabetes, liver diseases, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s, cancer, and mental illness when compared to white Americans. Compounded by structural inequities around access and comprehensive care, higher rates of these comorbidities in Latino communities were exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and, as a result, the Latino life expectancy in this country fell by almost 2 years from 81.8 to 79.9 years. This session will elevate the issue of Latino health equity as it relates to the successful diagnosis and treatment of chronic conditions and bring together leaders in the health sector who have implemented solutions designed to make the health of our communities a priority.
