Latino/x Health Equity

CHCF is working to improve health care for all Californians. That broader effort includes more tailored efforts to eliminate disparities in health care for Latino/x Californians — the state’s largest ethnic group. We analyze language access, immigration status impacts, and cultural competency — identifying solutions that build trust, expand coverage, and strengthen care delivery.
