The National Association of Hispanic Nurses (NAHN) is hosting a virtual conference from October 13-16 with the topic being “Educating the Latino Community on the Affordable Care Act.”
The goal of the conference is to educate nurses, students, healthcare professionals, and anyone else interested in educating Latinos on the benefits of the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
The training module component will help prepare attendees that deal with Latino patients on a regular basis educate Latinos on the fundamentals of the ACA. This will include assisting them on applying for coverage through their state’s Medicaid site, through the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) or through the Health Insurance Marketplace.
Attendees will be able to connect the importance of health insurance to addressing the health disparities that persist in the Latino community.
