The conference, hosted by the College of Southern Idaho, brought together a diverse group of healthcare providers, community-based organizations, policymakers, educators, employers, Hispanic and Tribal leaders and community members united in their commitment to advancing healthcare equity among Idaho Hispanics and American Indians.
