@SaludAmerica @latinxvocesllc @PublicHealthMap @preventcancer @DulceMariaMPH @NHMAmd @SusanGKomen A6 (cont.): Underserved patients do not have the financial means necessary to entertain a clinical trial much less enroll in one when they are already exhausted their financial means. #SaludTues

@SaludAmerica @latinxvocesllc @PublicHealthMap @preventcancer @DulceMariaMPH @NHMAmd @SusanGKomen A5 (cont.): It is empowering seeing other Latino patients advocating for the same diseases that other demographics experience as well. Latinos are not spared. #SaludTues

@SaludAmerica @latinxvocesllc @PublicHealthMap @preventcancer @DulceMariaMPH @NHMAmd @SusanGKomen A1: Poor health literacy is one of the most severe disparities for the Latino community. Providing access to resources that are culturally and linguistically appropriate improves both communication and relationships between patient and provider. #SaludTues (cont.)
