#SaludTues Tweetchat 10/4/22: Exploring the Diversity of the Latino Population

Share On Social!

Latinos now comprise 18.9% of the U.S. population.

This “minority majority” is a dynamic, rising population with heritages from Mexico, Cuba, Puerto Rico, South America, Central America, and many more.

And the wellbeing of this diverse culture of people is the key to the future health of the nation.

To celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month (Sept. 15 to Oct. 15), let’s use #SaludTues on Tuesday, Oct. 4, 2022, to explore the diversity of the Latino population and how we can improve Latino health.
