About the Latino Health Forum
The 2021 Sea Mar Latino Health Forum is moving to an online/virtual format. This decision was based on the best interests of the health and safety of conference attendees and staff. The Latino Health Forum committee is working diligently to ensure this year’s conference remains relevant and focused on the healthcare of Latinos in Washington
The Latino Health Forum is an event dedicated to the exchange of innovative ideas, best practices and the advancement of health for the Latino community.
In its 16th year, the Latino Health Forum attracts health care experts and activists serving Latinos in the Pacific Northwest to participate in open dialogue and forums on current topics affecting the health of Latinos on regional, national and international levels.
The forum is a valuable platform for individuals working in health care, social justice, public policy and for those working with underserved Latino populations. Participants will have the opportunity to meet and network with practitioners, researchers and community activists currently impacting the field of public health. Individuals will gain valuable resources and skills towards shaping health policy and creating greater health equity for Latino populations here in the Pacific Northwest region.
