Recently, the U.S. Office of Minority Health hosted a Twitter chat about strategies to reduce health disparities among Latinos. Federal agencies, media, advocates, community-based organizations and others took part. The discussion dealt with a range of health, social and economic topics —including the need to increase health literacy among Latinos and educate health care providers to offer more culturally and linguistically competent care.
With the third open enrollment period for the Health Insurance Marketplace underway, partners also talked about the Affordable Care Act's success in helping 4 million Latinos gain health insurance , and getting even more people enrolled by January 31, 2016.
