#SaludTues Tweetchat 4/18: National Minority Health Month!

Share On Social!

Minorities often deal with lots of obstacles that prevent them from getting the best healthcare possible. Language, cultural stigmas, lack of access and information, and segregation are just some big issues facing minorities.

Having “good” health is a big factor in people excelling in their quality of life. Health factors into education, employment, and long-term success.
