About the Latino Health Forum
In its 17th 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.
This year’s theme is Reclaiming Accessible Health through Social Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion.
We will be having the event on October 26th at the Sea Mar Museum of Chicano/a/Latino/a Culture & Community Center.
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.
