Latino Caucus (Est. 1973)

 

The Latino Caucus represents the unique perspectives and special public health problems common to Latinos in the United States. The Caucus provides an entry-point for public health professionals with a commitment to understanding and eliminating health disparities within and across the Latino community. It also provides programs that explore the special issues of migrant workers, undocumented immigrants, documented immigrants and those individuals who lack access to Western medical systems and rely on traditional indigenous systems of care. The Caucus has also worked closely with APHA Sections to explore issues of environmental hazards to the labor force and sweat shops that pose serious threats to maternal and child health. e Latino Caucus represents the unique perspectives and special public health problems common to Latinos in the United States.
