N2 - Hispanics are one of the fastest growing minorities in Duval County, Florida, yet they are struggling with widespread health inequities and social barriers. Health inequity data demonstrates that Duval County’s Hispanic population is plagued by rising chronic and infectious disease rates, the lack of culturally diverse and competent health and mental health resources, and the social infrastructure care needed to address these areas. With the correct support and progressive, community-engaged programs, these major roadblocks are largely addressable and can lead to multigenerational health, economic and social structure improvements in our communities.
