The problem of health disparities among Latinos is well documented, but

solutions are complex. One solution is increasing access to health care

so that more Latinas and their families have health insurance and a

regular source of care. Another solution is to strengthen the network

of clinics and hospitals that can provide care to uninsured Latinos. In

addition, hospitals and clinics must ensure that services are available

in Spanish, and that providers understand cultural issues that impact

Latinas and their families. In addition, the state must make more

effort to recruit Latinos/as into medical professions. These

inequalities are preventable; Latinas and all Coloradans must work

together to ensure that Latinas and their families have an equal

opportunity to be healthy.     

Colorado Consumer Health Initiative is a non-profit organization that

works to ensure equal access to health care for all Coloradans. For
