HLS 2020 - Goal 3: Good Health and Wellbeing
The Impact of Breast Cancer: Dr Marisa Weiss
Good Health & Well-Being for Every Hispanic
Hispanics are facing a number of health and well-being risks, including: malnutrition, which affects cognitive development; obesity; untreated mental health issues, exacerbated in 2020; and a dramatic and dangerous drop in immunization rates that could create outbreaks of infectious diseases, particularly as this fear extends to COVAX (COVID vaccine). Hispanics don’t get enough public health education and information, don’t access health services and are poorly represented in clinical trials. This session will focus on identifying tangible solutions to address the key health threats that imperil the lives of our community.
