Rumba First Friday: "Salud y la Comunidad Latina"
Latinos in the United States face many health challenges influenced by including socioeconomic status, language barriers, and limited access to healthcare. Cultural differences and mistrust of the healthcare system can also hinder effective communication and treatment adherence.
