Who is it for?
Area Hispanic residents.
Why do they do it?
Hispanic residents comprise more than 29 percent of the Clark County population; due to language barriers and lack of medical insurance, they experience difficulty accessing medical information and health care.
Impact
In 2011, WomensCare was distributed to 45,000 residents. More than 1,400 individuals received services at 10 health fairs. Resource information and referrals were provided via telephone to 703 Hispanic residents. The 46 Hispanic Health Education classes were attended by 576 individuals.
