Abstract | Claudia Rojas is the program director for the Center for Latin American Health, or CELAH, at the University of North Carolina. In her position Claudia coordinates the many operations of CELAH. Her team goes to specific clinics to help Spanish-speaking clients navigate the healthcare system. This may include following up to make sure that clients are satisfied with their care and verifying that they know where to locate pharmacies and that their overall needs are being met. The main issue discussed involved the overall lack of preventative healthcare measures due to uninsured patients not being aware of the charity care provisions and free clinics that are available. Rojas is originally from Colombia and has lived in the United States for sixteen years. |
