Helping to make structural changes for the better

Exclusionary policies at the federal and state level contribute to health disparities, and may increase healthcare costs. Centro SOL works intensively with local and state authorities to improve the policies that affect the Latino population.

Latinos are the fastest growing minority group in Maryland, with a population that more than doubled in the last decade. This rapid growth is a result of migration from Latin Americans seeking economic opportunities, as well as a high birth rate among Latino women. While Latino immigrants tend to be young and healthy, sustaining wellness can be challenging due to a variety of factors, including poor access to health care, a shortage of culturally and linguistically appropriate services, adoption of unhealthy habits, stress and poverty.

Centro SOL aboga por la inclusión a nivel local y estatal; trabajando intensamente con las autoridades para desarrollar políticas que faciliten el acceso de la Comunidad de Latinxs al sistema de salud.
