OUR HEALTH ISSUE AREAS/FOCUS AREAS

LCHC is focused on providing science and research based policy solutions to address healthcare inequities in the Latinx Communities. Below are our specific health focus areas.

  • Health Care Access: “Access to health care for all” – Increase access to individuals to affordable, high quality, and culturally and linguistically appropriate health care—covering oral and mental health care—for all.

  • Social Determinants of Health: “Building healthy communities” – Build social, economic, and physical environments for communities that prevent chronic diseases and promote health and wellness.

  • Health & Human Rights: “Health is a fundamental right of every human being” – Reduce structural and institutional barriers that produce health inequities across race/ethnicity, gender and/or sexual orientation, disability status, and immigration status.
