Keynote Speaker: Teresa Mosqueda, Chair, Public Policy Committee, Health Insurance Exchange Board; Legislative and Policy Director, Washington State Labor Council, AFL-CIO
The Latino Health Forum is an event dedicated to the exchange of innovative ideas, best practices and the advancement of health for the Latino community.
In its eighth year, the Latino Health Forum attracts health care experts and activists serving Latinos in the Pacific Northwest to participate in open dialogue and forums on current hot topics affecting the health of Latinos on regional, national and international levels.
The forum is a valuable networking platform for individuals in the field of health science, social justice, public policy and to those committed to underserved Latino populations. Participants will have the opportunity to meet and engage one-on-one with practitioners, researchers and community activists currently impacting the field of public health. In addition, participants will gain valuable resources and skills towards shaping health policy and creating greater health equity for Latino populations here in Washington state.
