Healthcare Tacos

In a country with millions of native Spanish speakers. We need more. Culturally inclusive and Spanish #virtualhealth services (Period). It’s surprising how few companies truly prioritize this. Language and cultural nuances aren’t “nice to have” but are essential for #health quality care. Companies like Galileo and PlushCare have made strides, but they’re the exceptions, not the rule. Imagine the impact. If more #Telecare providers committed to a 100% Spanish experience, from the app interface to culturally competent providers. It’s time to make healthcare truly inclusive for all.

Healthcare should be for everyone. Unfortunately. That is not the case today for Hispanic communities. To close this gap, we need to prioritize Digital #HealthInclusion. Here are three steps to do it. 1. Provide Bilingual #DigitalHealth Education. 2. Design Inclusive, Culturally Relevant Platforms. 3. Expand Affordable Access to Devices and Internet. What other steps do you believe are essential for bridging this #care divide?

Health equity isn’t just about doctor visits. For millions of Hispanics. It is shaped by social factors that take a heavy toll on #health outcomes. Trust me, I saw it firsthand. Through Unividoc, my last venture, I witnessed hardworking families struggle due to the following factors. ? Low wages. ? Unsafe housing. ? Inadequate education. ? Unreliable transportation. That is why I believe the solution to #HealthEquity. Lies in working together to help Hispanics get the #Healthcare services they need. Because it’s about more than just treatment; it’s about creating a united, supportive ecosystem to ignite change. Together, we can close the gap.

Language access does NOT equal inclusivity. Real inclusivity. Goes beyond translation. It’s about understanding cultural values, beliefs, and family dynamics. For example, in my community. #Healthcare decisions are made collectively, and ignoring this misses the mark. Even if you speak Spanish.

I shared some insights on how these hidden #healthcare biases create systemic inequities and impact patient care. Missed it?
