¡Hola!

It's Hispanic Heritage Month, and we're looking at healthcare inequity experienced by this vibrant community. Did you know that Hispanic people are over three times as likely to be uninsured compared to non-Hispanic whites? Or that despite facing significant barriers, the Hispanic community exhibits some surprisingly positive health outcomes—a phenomenon known as the "Hispanic Paradox"?

Latest blog post explores:
• The extent of the problem
• Why these disparities exist
• The outsize effect of COVID-19 on Hispanic health
• How we can get better

Join the conversation, share your thoughts, and make a change.

We are continuing our celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month! Our Customer Service Rep Jacqueline is proud of her Mexican-American heritage, including their superior food, music and cultural dance! She holds her cultural values closely including the motto of 'da la mano a tu hermano de la mano' which heavily influences her every day life where she helps participants by 'lending a hand' where and whenever she can.

How do you celebrate your heritage? Share with us in the comments!
