*Culturally Appropriate *
*Aging Care for Latinos *

The 2017 Latino Health Equity Conference will continue the theme of
examining the unique health issues faced by Latino immigrant communities in
the United States focusing specifically on aging. Latino elders and their
family members draw upon cultural strengths including the importance of
spirituality and family that can serve as resilience factors. However,
elderly Latino immigrants face many obstacles that affect their overall
health. There are cultural and systemic barriers in health care,
disparities in chronic disease management, limited access to culturally
appropriate community resources for eldercare and limited access to
palliative and hospice care.
