Our Why: Health Disparities

  • Language Barriers

    Language barriers have been identified as a serious barrier in relationships between patients and healthcare providers

  • Discrimination

    “1/4 immigrants report being treated unfairly by a healthcare provider because of their accent or ability to speak English (15%) and/or their race, ethnicity, or skin color (13%)” (Pillai et al, 2023).

  • Fear Due to Policy

    “Public Charge” rule causes many families to avoid using federal assistance programs
